MARINA DIZON-RIVERA v. ESTELA DIZON

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2005-03-11
TINGA, J.
The historical antecedent of Article 1080 of the New Civil Code is Article 1056[40] of the old Civil Code. The only change in the provision is that Article 1080 now permits any person (not a testator, as under the old law) to partition his estate by act inter vivos. This was intended to abrogate the then prevailing doctrine that for a testator to partition his estate by an act inter vivos, he must first make a will with all the formalities provided by law.[41]
