IN MATTER OF INTESTATE ESTATE OF LATE JUAN 'JHONNY' LOCSIN v. JUAN C. LOCSIN

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 163362 2015-07-08	ALEJANDRA ARADO HEIRS: JESUSA ARADO v. ANACLETO ALCORAN BERSAMIN, J.
The weight accorded by the RTC and the CA to the picture depicting the young Anacleto in the arms of Joaquina as she stood beside the coffin of the departed Nicolas (Exhibit 5) was also undeserved. At best, the picture merely manifested that it was Joaquina who had acknowledged her filiation with Anacleto. Cautioning against the admission in evidence of a picture of similar nature, we have pointed out in Solinap v. Locsin, Jr.[37] that:[R]espondent's photograph with his mother near the coffin of the late Juan C. Locsin cannot and will not constitute proof of filiation, lest we recklessly set a very dangerous precedent that would encourage and sanction fraudulent claims. Anybody can have a picture taken while standing before a coffin with others and thereafter utilize it in claiming the estate of the deceased.
	GR No. 189121 2013-07-31	AMELIA GARCIA-QUIAZON v. MA. LOURDES BELEN PEREZ, J.
An "interested party," in estate proceedings, is one who would be benefited in the estate, such as an heir, or one who has a claim against the estate, such as a creditor. Also, in estate proceedings, the phrase "next of kin" refers to those whose relationship with the decedent is such that they are entitled to share in the estate as distributees.[28]
	GR No. 155258 2003-10-07	CONRADO CANO Y SAMPANG v. PEOPLE YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
In the case at bar, the record shows circumstances of weight and influence which have been overlooked, or the significance of which has been misinterpreted, that if considered would affect the result of the case.[36]
