from the moment 11of his death, and do not vest in his heirs
until such time. Property which Doa Catalina had
transferred or conveyed to other persons during her
lifetime no longer formed part of her estate at the time of
her death to which her heirs may lay claim. Had she died
intestate, only the property that remained in her estate at
the time of her death devolved to her legal heirs and even
if those transfers were, one and all, treated as donations,
the right arising under certain circumstances to impugn
and compel the reduction or revocation of a decedents gifts
inter vivos does not inure to the respondents since neither
12
they nor the donees are compulsory (or forced) heirs.
There is thus no basis for assuming an intention on the
part of Doa Catalina, in transferring the properties she
had received from her late husband to his nephews and
nieces, an intent to circumvent the law in violation of the
private respondents rights to her succession. Said
respondents are not her compulsory heirs, and it is not
pretended that she had any such, hence there were no
legitimes that could conceivably be impaired by any
transfer of her property during her lifetime. All that the
respondents had was an expectancy that in nowise
restricted her freedom to dispose of even her entire estate
subject only to the limitation set forth in Art. 750, Civil
Code which, even if it were breached, the respondents may

Art. 750. The donation may comprehend all the present property
of the donor, or part thereof, provided he reserves, in full
ownership or in usufruct, sufficient means for the support of
himself, and of all relatives who, at the time of the acceptance of
the donation are by law entitled to be supported by the donor.
Without such reservation, the donation shall be reduced on
petition of any person affected. (634a)
