502 SUPREME COURT REPORTS ANNOTATED
Parish Priest of Roman Catholic Church of Victoria, Tarlac
vs. Rigor
503
504
505
Decision affirmed.
Notes.—It is essentially the duty of every person dealing
at arms’ length with the administrator of an estate subject
of settlement and liquidation to inquire about the existence
of claims against, or of persons having an interest in the
estate subject to probate and settlement proceedings. (Dolor
vs. Sundiam, 39 SCRA 616).
The better practice for the heir who has not received his
share is to demand his share through a proper motion in the
same probate or administration proceedings if it had
already been closed, and through an independent action
which would be tried by another Court or Judge which may
thus reverse a decision or order of the probate or intestate
court already final
