15 GCA § 619: Rule of Worthier Title Abolished; Construction of Devise or Bequest to Testator's Own Heirs or Next of Kin.

The law of the territory of Guam does not include either

(1) the common law rule of worthier title, that a testator cannot devise an interest to his own heirs; or

(2) a presumption or rule of interpretation that a testator does

not intend, by a devise or bequest to his own heirs or next of kin, to transfer an interest to them. The meaning of a devise or bequest of a legal or equitable interest to a testator's own heirs or next of kin,

however designated, shall be determined by the general rules

applicable to the interpretation of wills, as set forth in this Chapter. This Section shall be applied in all cases in which final judgment

has not been entered on the effective date of this Section.
