Walter Stevenson (born in Phils, of British parents, married in Mnla in 1909to British subject Beatrice Mauricia Stevenson) died on Feb1951 in Sn Francisco, Cali.,in permanent residence established with wife. He instituted his wife, who laterassigned all her rights and interests to Fisher spouses in Dec 1952, as sole heiress toreal & personal properties acquired by them while residing in Phil.Total gross of assets was P130,792.83. Ancillary administration proceedingsin the Court of 1
Instance of Mnla were instituted to settle the estate in thePhilippines. Ian Murray Scott was appointed ancillary administrator of theestate. He filed a preliminary inheritance and tax return with the reservationof having the properties declared finally appraised at values 6mos. after thedeath of Stevenson.On Sept 1952, estate and inheritance tax return was amended to avail of theright granted by
There was a change in price pershare of stock, the ancillary administrator based it on the quotation of thestock obtaining at the San Francisco Stock Exchange. He also made claim todeductions for funeral expenses, judicial expenses and others. On Sept 1953,he filed a second amended estate and inheritance tax return. It containednew claims for additional exemptions and deductions: 4,000 deduction fromgross estate of decedent provided by
Sec.861, no.4, US Fedl Internl Rev.Code,
made allowable by way of reciprocity granted by
other exemptions granted by reciprocity proviso. Refund of amount of 15,259.83 allegedly overpaid was requested by the estate and denied by the
Collector. Pursuant to
action commenced in Court of 1

WON estate is entitled to payment of interest of amt. it claims to haveoverpaid the gov’t and to be refundable to it.
Decision affirmed with modifications.
Yes. In the absence of ante-nuptial agreement, the contracting partiesare presumed to have adopted the system of conjugal partnership as tothe properties acquired during their marriage. Since the marriage tookplace in 1909, Article 1325( not Art.124 of NCC which became effectiveonly in 1950), adhering to thenationality theoryof determining theproperty relation of spouses where one is a foreigner and there are noprior arrangements is the applicable law. However, in the instant case, both spouses are foreigners who married in the Philippines. Therefore,The law determining the Stevenson property relation is the English law,which must be presumed to be the same as our law since there is anabsence of proof otherwise (processual presumption, p699). Moreimportantly, property relations of spouses as distinguished fromsuccessional rights of spouses is governed differently by the specificand express provisions of Title VI, Chapter I of NCC.
reciprocity between the Philippines and the stateof California in that while the former exempts payment of both estateand inheritance taxes on intangible properties, the latter only exemptsthe payment of inheritance.
Amount under the Fed’l Estate Tax Law is in the nature of a deduction,not of an exemption regarding which reciprocity can’t be claimed under
No. Respondents contend that the fair market value should be theassessed values appearing in the tax rolls 6months after death ofStevenson, pursuant to
sec91, NIR
. However, properties are required to be appraised at their fair market value and the assessed value thereofshall be considered as their fair market value only when evidence to thecontrary hasn’t been shown.The situs of the shares of the stock forpurposes of taxation, being located in the Phils and sought to be taxedin this jurisdiction, consistent with the exercise of our govt’s taxingauthority, their fair market value should be fixed on the basis of theprice prevailing on our country. However, since the said shares of stockcommanded a lesser value at Manila Stock Exchange six months afterdeath of Stevenson, the testimony of Atty. Gibbs contributed to the SC’sreversal of Tax Court and holding the value of a share in said miningcompany in the Phil market as P.325 as claimed by respondents.5.Yes. These have been considered deductible by the Tax Court. p706-707
No, deduction has to be allowed only insofar as the Philippine probatecourt has not approved this particular indebtedness of the decedent,such approval is necessary. There is a regular administration undercontrol of the court where claims must be presented and approved andexpenses of administration allowed before deductions from the estatecan be authorized. Another reason: According to
sec89, letter d of NIR
,allowable deduction is only to the extent of the PORTION of theindebtedness which is equivalent to the proportion that the estate in thePhilippines bears to the total estate wherever situated. Since there is nostatement of the value of the estate situated outside the Phils, or thatthere exists no such properties outside the Phils, no part of theindebtedness can be allowed to be deducted.DONATIONSREQUISITES FOR DONATIONSArt. 82. Donations by reason of marriage are those which are made before itscelebration, in consideration of the same, and in favor of one or both of the futurespouses. (126)Art. 83. These donations are governed by the rules on ordinary donations establishedin Title III of Book III of the Civil Code, insofar as they are not modified by thefollowing articles. (127a)
Art. 84. If the future spouses agree upon a regime other than the absolute communityof property, they cannot donate to each other in their marriage settlements more thanone-fifth of their present property. Any excess shall be considered void.Donations of future property shall be governed by the provisions on testamentarysuccession and the formalities of wills. (130a)Art. 85. Donations by reason of marriage of property subject to encumbrances shall be valid. In case of foreclosure of the encumbrance and the property is sold for lessthan the total amount of the obligation secured, the donee shall not be liable for thedeficiency. If the property is sold for more than the total amount of said obligation,the donee shall be entitled to the excess. (131a)Art. 86. A donation by reason of marriage may be revoked by the donor in thefollowing cases:(1) If the marriage is not celebrated or judicially declared void ab initio exceptdonations made in the marriage settlements, which shall be governed by Article 81;(2) When the marriage takes place without the consent of the parents or guardian, asrequired by law;(3) When the marriage is annulled, and the donee acted in bad faith;(4) Upon legal separation, the donee being the guilty spouse;(5) If it is with a resolutory condition and the condition is complied with;(6) When the donee has committed an act of ingratitude as specified by theprovisions of the Civil Code on donations in general. (132a)Art. 87.

A contract may be valid and yet, by virtue of said section, the parties will be unable to prove it. It simply provides themethod by w/c the contracts mentioned can be proved. The form required is forevidential purposes only.A contract may be perfectly valid even though it is not clothed w/ the necessary form.If the parties to an action, during the trial of the case, make no objection to theadmissibility of oral evidence to support contracts and permit the contract to beproved, by evidence other than a writing, it will be just as binding upon the parties asif it had been reduced to writing.
