ANA JOYCE S. REYES v. CESAR M. SOTERO

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2010-11-24
PEREZ, J.
The same rule is applied to adoption such that it cannot also be made subject to a collateral attack.  In Reyes v. Sotero,[24] this Court reiterated that adoption cannot be assailed collaterally in a proceeding for the settlement of a decedent's estate.[25]  Furthermore, in Austria v. Reyes,[26] the Court declared that the legality of the adoption by the testatrix can be assailed only in a separate action brought for that purpose and cannot be subject to collateral attack.[27]
