    Order of Intestate Succession


    09-8253 #81

    DEL PRADO vs. SANTOS


    G.R. No. L-20946. 23 September 1966

    FACTS:
     the deceased Anastacio C. del Prado and defendant Aurea S. Santos cohabited with each
    other without the benefit of matrimony; as a result of that cohabitation they had one son —
    the minor Jesus S. del Prado whom Anastacio admitted to be his son in the latter's birth
    certificate.
     Santos, who was married to Demetria, adjudicated a parcel of land to the minor Jesus
    Santos Del Prado
     Plaintiff Eugenio del Prado, Anastacio’s brother, filed a complaint to annul such deed
    alleging that he was thus deprived of his rightful share in the estate of his brother.
     The lower court dismissed the complaint ruling that since Anastacio left no legitimate
    descendants or ascendants then the minor Jesus del Prado who shall succeed the entire
    estate left by his supposed father to the exclusion of the plaintiff who is only a collateral
    relative

    ISSUE: Whether the brother of the deceased have a better right to the latter’s property over the
    deceased’s illegitimate son.

    RULING: No. Since Anastacio C. del Prado died in 1958 the new Civil Code applies (Article
    2263). Illegitimate children other than natural are entitled to successional rights (Article 287).
    Where, as in this case, the deceased died intestate, without legitimate descendants or ascendants,
    then his illegitimate child shall succeed to his entire estate (Article 988), to the exclusion of
    appellant who is only a collateral relative.
