Terms Used In 15 Guam Code Ann. § 3703
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Probate: Proving a will
such proceeding, when it appears to the court or judge either from a verified petition or from affidavits, that the welfare of the minor will be imperiled if he is allowed to remain in the custody of the person then having his care, an order may be made providing for his temporary custody until a hearing can be had on the petition. And when it appears that there is reason to believe that the minor will be carried out of the jurisdiction of the court, or will suffer some irreparable injury before compliance with such order providing for the temporary custody of the minor can be enforced, the court or judge, at the time of making the order for temporary custody, may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting the facts and directed to the Director of Public Safety, commanding such officer to take the minor from the custody of the person in whose care he then is and place him in custody in accordance with such order.
