10. In 1999, Vicente Salavador married Ignacia Avila but had been separated de facto in 2001. Lot
was registered under the name of the spouses. Vicente filed a petition for administration and
appointment of guardian where he misrepresented that his wife, Ignacia died in 2002 and that
he and their minor children were her only heirs.

In March 2004, respondent Spouses Mijares bought the lot thus a new title was issued to them.
In December 2005, Ignacia sent a letter demanding the return of her ½ share in the lot. Failing to
settle amicably, Ignacia instituted a complaint for Annulment of Sale against Spouses Mijares
and Vicente.

The Spouses Mijares claimed that they are purchasers in good faith and that the sale was valid.

What is the status of the sale of the lot to respondent spouses, and should it be annulled in its
entirety or only with respect to the share of Ignacia? Were the respondents innocent purchasers
for value? 10 pts
