ALEJANDRO V. GERALDEZ

78 SCRA 245

FACTS:

Spouses Diaz executed deeds of donation in favor of Andrea and Angel. After the spouses died, Andrea sued Angel for the partition of the lots, and that the donations effected before were invalid for not complying with formalities of a will.

HELD:

The contracts show that the donation was in the nature of inter vivos—the acceptance clause, warranty clause, and reservation clause all lead to this conclusion.
