Article 1317 provides that no one may contract in the name of another without being
authorized or unless he has, by law, a right to represent him. Article 1919 furthers that the
death of the principal terminates the agency.

The case at bar is also not among the exceptions whereby an agent’s acts bind the principal
even after the latter’s death because of Simeon’s knowledge of Concepion’s death is material.
Hence, the sale was null and void.
