If the amount of such advancement exceeds the share of the heir receiving the same, such heir must be excluded from any further portion in the division and distribution of the estate, but such heir shall not be required to refund any part of such advancement. If the amount so received is less than such heir's share, such heir is entitled to so much more as will give such heir his full share of the estate of the decedent.","path":["Title 15: Estates and Probate","Division 3 - Administration of Decedents’ Estates","Chapter 29: Advancements, Ademption, Partition Before Distribution"],"source_url":"https://col.guamcourts.gov/sites/default/files/15gc029.pdf","current_through":"P.L. 38-133 (June 4, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-27T03:35:18Z","sha256":"87131e0dc129ea028aa3ca071c40db6ec35c803e7fcd1d910bc1423d5ed1ed8c","source_id":"us-gu","stale":false,"prev":"us-gu/15-gca-2901","next":"us-gu/15-gca-2905"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
