TEODORO (1956)
Short summary: brothers of the deceased wanted to
oust surviving spouse/brother in law as administrator
of their sister's estate, after ss/bil already appointed
as such and after intestate proceedings already
commenced, by showing will allegedly appointing one
of them as executor. Court held that until the will is
probated, the provision in the will making one of them
the executor of the estate is not effective.
Facts
-Josefa Lacson Advincula allegedly died intestate and
so her husband Emilio initiated specpro for the
settlement of her intestate estate and was appointed
regular administrator.
-After such, brothers of deceased submitted an
alleged will of Josefa and petitioned for the probate of
the said will
>>>Emilio contested alleging that the will was a
forgery. -Enrique Lacson, one of the brothers, filed
motion that he be appointed administrator of the
estate, he being appointed the executor in the will, and
that petitioner is "incompetent, incapable and
unsuitable to the discharge of the trust, he being
foreign to the estate, and without changing or
removing him as such would be disastrous to the
estate and to the heirs named in the will of the
decedent"
>>>Lawyers of Emilio filed OPPOSITION to the motion,
but on the date of hearing:
the main counsel of Emilio was not present, the
motion for postponement of the hearing was denied
Enrique Lacson was appointed as administrator,
they're allegations as to competence of Emilio "well-
founded"
