COMMENT: Section 441 of the Probate Code of Guam (1970), which covered procedure before hearing of a petition for letters of administration, was considerably different from § 327 of the Probate Code of Guam (1970), which covered pre-hearing procedure in the case of petitions for the probate of wills. The Commission can see no reason why pre-hearing procedure should be different as between the two different kinds of petitions, as both procedures are initiated in the same manner (i.e., by the filing of a petition), both require a hearing, and in both cases the purpose and format of the hearing are approximately the same. The Commission has therefore extensively revised § 1813, in order to make it congruent with § 1515, supra (§ 1515 being the revised provision concerning pre-hearing procedures in the case of a petition for the probate of a will.) Also see Comment to
§ 1515, supra.
