FACTS: Margarita
Espiritu died leaving a 48-hectare land. The plaintiffs alleged that they are
the children and heirs of Margarita and that defendant Luis Espiritu, brother
of Margarita, induced and fraudulently succeeded in getting the plaintiffs to
sell their land for a sum of P400 as opposed to its original value. Hence, the
plaintiffs sought to annul the deed of sale and asserted that 2 of the 4
parties were minors. These two minors presented themselves to be of legal age
upon signing it and made a manifestation in front of notary public.
ISSUE: W/N the deed of
sale is valid when the minors presented themselves to be of legal age
HELD: The contract is
valid. They will not be permitted to excuse themselves from the fulfillment if
the obligations contracted by them.
