Family Allowance: Where Persons Entitled Have Other

Support. If any person otherwise eligible for the allowance provided in Section 2415 of this Title has a reasonable maintenance derived from other sources, and there are other persons entitled to such allowance, the allowance shall be granted only to those who have not such maintenance. SOURCE: California Probate Code, § 682 (as amended). COMMENT: The equivalent section of the Probate Code of Guam (1970) has been altered in order that it comport with the revised provisions of § 2415. If, for example, a mentally incapacitated adult child of the decedent lives in a public institution and is reasonably provided for by that institution, then the provisions of § 2419 allow the court to grant a family allowance only to such other eligible persons -- e.g., the surviving spouse, minor children -- as might need it.
