AGUSTINA DE LA CRUZ v. LUCIA DE LA CRUZ

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

CORONA, J.
There is only one parcel of land, covered by Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. NT-26670,[30] registered solely in Gonzales' name, which was acquired between 1927 and 1963.[31] This fact of registration created a conclusiveness of title in favor of the person in whose name it was registered.[32] In SD-857, although Villanueva sought to prove that he alone had purchased the properties and that only he could have done so during the period of cohabitation (since he was the sole breadwinner), he never actually challenged the validity of the registration in her name. Thus the efficacy of the title in Gonzales' name remained unrebutted. As Gonzales' sole property, this should accrue entirely to her heirs.
