hence, she was not liable to the petitioner under the joint
agreement.
On January 29, 1990, the case was unloaded and re
14
raffled to the RTC of Makati City, Branch 63.
Consequently, trial on the merits ensued and a decision
was subsequently rendered by the court dismissing the
complaint for lack of merit. The decretal portion of the RTC
decision reads:
WHEREFORE, judgment 15is hereby rendered DISMISSING the
complaint for lack of merit.
The trial court found that the claim of the petitioner should
have been filed with the probate court before which the
testate estate of the late Efraim Santibaez was pending,
as the sum of money being claimed was an obligation
incurred by the said decedent. The trial court also found
that the Joint Agreement apparently executed by his heirs,
Edmund and Florence, on July 22, 1981, was, in effect, a
partition of the estate of the decedent. However, the said
agreement was void, considering that it had not been
approved by the probate court, and that there can be no
valid partition until after the will has been probated. The
trial court further declared that petitioner failed to prove
that it was the now defunct Union Savings and Mortgage
Bank to which the FCCC had assigned its assets and
liabilities. The court also agreed to the contention of
respondent Florence S. Ariola that the list of assets and
liabilities of the FCCC assigned to Union Savings and
Mortgage Bank did not clearly refer to the decedents
account. Ruling that the joint agreement executed by the
heirs was null and void, the trial court held that the
petitioners cause of action against respondent Florence S.
Ariola must necessarily fail.
