knowledge. The inventory must include the homestead, if any, and all the estate of the decedent, real and personal, particularly specifying all debts, bonds, mortgages, deeds of trust, notes, and other securities for the pay- ment of money belonging to the decedent, with the name of each debtor, the date, the sum originally payable, the endorsements thereon, if any, with their dates, and a statement of the interest of the decedent in any partnership of which the decedent was a member, to be appraised as single item. It must include an account of all moneys belonging to the decedent. If the whole estate consists of money in the hands of the personal representative, there need not be an appraisement, but an inventory must be made and returned as in other cases. The Superior Court of Guam may in its discretion waive the requirements of this Section where it appears that none of the heirs, devisees, legatees, or creditors will be prejudiced by such waiver.
