Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Guam

Re: Estate Claims

Children are not generally required to pay the debts of a deceased parent unless the debt is also theirs, for instance if they bought a car together and their names are both on the contract. However, if the parent owned property, either real or personal, the creditor can try to get paid from the property owned by the parent. Normally, the creditor would make a claim against the Estate of the deceased parent.
