Terms Used In 15 Guam Code Ann. § 505

  • Intestate: Dying without leaving a will.
  • Probate: Proving a will
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
  • Testator: A male person who leaves a will at death.
§ 501. When Omitted Children and Grandchildren Take by
Succession; When Not.

When a testator omits to provide in his will for any of his children, or for the issue of any deceased child, whether born before or after the making of the will or before or after the death of the testator, and such child or issue is unprovided for by any settlement, and has not had an equal proportion of the testator’s property bestowed upon him by way of advancement, unless it appears from the will that such omission was intentional, such child or such issue succeeds to the same share in the estate of the testator as if the testator had died intestate.
