Grounds for Escheat; Charges and Trusts on Escheated

Property.

(a)If a decedent, whether or not domiciled in Guam at the time of death, leaves no one to take his estate or any portion thereof by testate succession, and no one other than a government, governmental subdivision or government agency to take his estate or any portion thereof by intestate succession, under the laws of Guam or of any other jurisdiction, such property escheats at the time of such decedent's death in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter.

(b)Property passing to the Government of Guam under the provisions of this Chapter, whether held by the Government of Guam or its officers, is subject to the same charges and trusts to which it would have been subject if passed by succession, and is also subject to the applicable provisions of the law of Guam relating to escheated estates.
