Civil Law, 2011 Bar — Question 9

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Lucio executed a simple deed of donation of P50 million on time deposit with a bank in favor of A, B, C, D, and E, without indicating the share of each donee. All the donees accepted the donation in writing. A, one of the donees, died. Will B, C, D, and E get A's share in the money? A) Yes, accretion will automatically apply to the joint-donees in equal shares. B) Yes, since the donor's intention is to give the whole of P50 million to the joint donees in equal shares. C) No, A's share will revert to the donor because accretion applies only if the joint-donees are spouses. D) No, A's share goes to his heirs since the donation did not provide for reversion to donor.
