PER CURIAM |
||||
| In Flores v. Chua,[21] we disbarred the lawyer after finding that he deliberately made false representations that the vendor appeared before him when he notarized a forged deed of sale. We took into account that he was previously found administratively liable for violation of Rule 1.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility (for bribing a judge) and sternly warned that a repetition of similar act or acts or violation committed by him in the future would be dealt with more severely.[22] | |||||

PER CURIAM |
||||
| Respondent lawyer is privy to the donor, his father-in-law. He cannot feign innocence in the execution of the document, considering that he was appointed attorney-in-fact by the donee, his brother-in-law, with the broad power of administering and selling the property donated. Respondent and his wife, an illegitimate daughter of Cesar Flores, were negotiating the sale of the property in question.[8] His notarization of the falsified deed of donation, with intent to gain by his appointment as attorney-in- fact, demonstrates an "active role to perpetuate a fraud, a deceitful act to prejudice a party."[9] | |||||
