MORETO
G.R. No. L-33187 - March 31, 1980

Ponente: J. Guerrero

FACTS:

Flaviano Moreto and Monica Maniega were husband and wife. During their
marriage, they acquired adjacent lots. The spouses Flaviano Moreto and Monica
Maniega begot during their marriage six children, namely, Ursulo, Marta, La Paz,
Alipio, Pablo, and Leandro.

Ursulo died intestate leaving as his heirs herein plaintiffs Vivencio, Marcelo,
Rosario, Victor, Paulina, Marta and Eligio. Marta died also intestate leaving as her
heir plaintiff Victoria Tuiza. La Paz died intestate leaving the following heirs,
namely, herein plaintiffs Pablo, Severina, Lazaro, and Lorenzo, all surnamed
Mendoza. Alipio Moreto died intestate leaving as his heir herein plaintiff Josefina
Moreto. Pablo Moreto died intestate oleaving no issue and as his heirs his brother
plaintiff Leandro Moreto and the other plaintiffs herein. Monica Maniega died
intestate in Calamba, Laguna.

More than six years after the death of his wife Monica, Flaviano Moreto,
without the consent of the heirs of his said deceased wife Monica, and before any
liquidation of the conjugal partnership of Monica and Flaviano could be effected,
executed in favor of Geminiano Pamplona, married to defendant Apolonia Onte, the
deed of absolute sale.

Flaviano Moreto died intestate. In 1961, the plaintiffs demanded on the


defendants to vacate the premises where they had their house and piggery on the
ground that Flaviano Moreto had no right to sell the lot which he sold to Geminiano
Pamplona as the same belongs to the conjugal partnership of Flaviano and his
deceased wife and the latter was already dead when the sale was executed without
the consent of the plaintiffs who are the heirs of Monica.

ISSUE:

Whether or not the sale is valid.

RULING:

Yes, it is valid.

The title may be pro-indiviso or inchoate but the moment the co-owner as
vendor pointed out its location and even indicated the boundaries over which the
fences were to be erectd without objection, protest or complaint by the other co-
owners, on the contrary they acquiesced and tolerated such alienation, occupation
and possession,
Under Article 776, New Civil Code, the inheritance which private
respondents received from their deceased parents and/or predecessors-in-interest
included all the property rights and obligations which were not extinguished by
their parents' death.
