I would like to share something which concern me a lot although there is no problem encountered yet as of now. I have a half brother. He was adopted when he was adopted by a childless couple who were now both dead. There was no formal adoption paper which was executed. He was now using the name given by his supposed adopting parents. However, previously he was registered with another name by his biological mother before he was adopted. The couple who adopted him also had him registered using the family name of the couple in another place. In my opinion, the name that should be used by him is the name registered by his biological mother. What would be the effect of this double registration on his legal transactions? What would be the remedy to cure this defect? Another concern is with respect to the properties of the adopting parents. My half brother had executed an affidavit claiming that he is the child of the deceased couple and that there is no other heir. With that, he had already sold the properties of the couple. Now, the siblings of the couple claim that they have the right to the properties, but there is still no litigation. What would be the possible implication if the case of the siblings of the couple would push through? Thank you.. Good day.

I, for one, would not want my articles to be riddled with errors. We also presume that readers, many of whom are well-informed about the law, would point out any errors. We also expect the author to defend his/her position or admit the mistake, as the case may be. We must point out that admitting the mistake is not at all bad, as this Forum welcomes free (and respectful) debate and positive criticism.

Fred, I'm Dexter Pante, currently 2nd year law student at San Beda College. May I know how to upload the bar questions and their answers which I personally researched? When I saved it, I did not see it published. It was still in draft mode. May I know it the said article still needs the moderator/administrators approval and review? Thanks and more power.

As to the merits of your case, I can't second-guess your lawyer (if none yet, I suggest you get one). Nevertheless, in general, a co-maker is bound in a solidary capacity, which means that the creditor could go against all or any one of the debtors. Don't take this as applicable to your case because as mentioned above, I can't discuss the merits of your case. Please discuss this with your lawyer. Good luck.

When I loan 80k since April 2005 i gave half of it to my co-maker. I have her sign an agreement that she owned me 30k which is payable for 3 years. Since May 2005 , I was the one shouldering the monthly amortization thru salary deduction. When I got lay-off from the company last sept 2006. I was not able to pay AUB. I ask help from my co maker because she did not pay me her monthly dues for 11 months after i lend her the money. Thats the time, different law firms and colletion agents called me,telling me that if Im not going to settle they will find a case agaisnt me. Then yesterday I receive a sub-poena from pasay city trial court .. case : sum of money .. what should i do ? thanks .. Dear Atty Fred,
