COMMENT: In § 603 of the Probate Code of Guam (1970), the phrase A…against the executor of any other person…@ (emphasis added) appears in the first sentence.
This was apparently a typographical error, as the corresponding California section reads like § 2609 in every respect. The Commission is of the opinion that the California version is correct, in that it makes considerably more sense in context than the version appearing in the Probate Code of Guam (1970).
