annexed, and upon such notice to the personal representative and to the persons interested in the estate as the Superior Court shall require, may apply to the Superior Court for an allowance upon his fees; and on the hearing the Superior Court shall make an order requiring the personal representative to pay such attorney out of the estate such compensation, on account of services rendered up to that time, as the Superior Court shall deem proper, and such payment shall be made forthwith.

SOURCE: Probate Code of Guam (1970), § 911.

COMMENT: Aside from minor changes in language, § 2813 is substantially the same as § 911 of the Probate Code of Guam (1970). See In the Matter of the Estate of Charles O. Kile, District Court of Guam Civil Appeal No. 77-19A (January 8,
1979), which holds that the notice and hearing provisions of prior § 911 are manda- tory on an attorney seeking an advance on his fees.
