Re: Unclaimed Property
Hi:
You should check with a Guam title insurance company and have them search the land records for property in your father's name. You could also engage an attorney to do that, but it would probably be more expensive. If he was in a business, you should check with the Dept. of Revenue and Taxation to see if the business is still in operation. If he was in a corporation, you could also check if the corporation is still in operation or has a business license.
If you father owns property here, you should engage a lawyer to probate the estate and have the property either distributed or sold.
