SI v Court of Appeals
FACTS:
Spouses Armada transferred their property to the
names of their three sons namely, Crisotomo,
Jose and Severo. Crisostomo through Cresencia
(atty-in-fact) executed a deed of sale in favor
Anita Si.
Spouses Jose Armada (other brother) filed a
complaint to annul the sale on the ground that
there was no written notice of such sale whereas
the deed stated that the co-owners are not
interested in buying the land. Further, there was
misrepresentation on the citizenship of Cresencia
is a Filipino citizen.
Petitioners claimed that there was really no coownership since the parents executed three
deeds of sale assigning specific properties to the
brothers. Since there is no-ownership it follows
that there is no right to redemption. Petitioners
pointed out that it was only because the brothers
failed to submit a subdivision plan which is the
reason why there is only one certificate of title.
Lower court dismissed the petition. CA reversed
and said that co-ownership still exists and that
the land was undivided. Petitioners filed a motion
for new trial on the basis that there was
annotation at the back of the original TCT due to
the sale in favor of the brothers. CA denied
because the reglementary period had lapsed and
the decision has become final and executory.
ISSUE:
Whether or not private respondents are coowners and that they are entitled to right of
redemption based on Art 1623 of NCC.
RULING:
1. Trial court was correct in finding that the
parents already partitioned the property which
was registered with the RD. Every portion
conveyed and transferred was definitely
described and segregated with corresponding
technical description. After this division coownership already ceased. Hence, there is no
right to redemption available to the respondents.
