JOSE BARITUA v. CA

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2006-11-30
CARPIO MORALES, J.
Although estranged from Olar, respondent Fortunata remained his wife and legal heir, mere estrangement not being a legal ground for the disqualification of a surviving spouse as an heir of the deceased spouse.[16] Rosalinda, on the other hand, is the surviving spouse of Olar's son. The two are thus real parties-in-interest who stand to be injured or benefited by the judgment on the cancellation of the CLOA issued in Olar's name.[17]
