Civil Law, 2011 Bar — Question 74

MULTIPLE CHOICE

T died intestate, leaving an estate of P9,000,000. He left as heirs three legitimate children, namely, A, B, and C. A has two children, D and E. Before he died, A irrevocably repudiated his inheritance from T in a public instrument filed with the court. How much, if any, will D and E, as A's children, get from T's estate? A) Each of D and E will get P1,500,000 by right of representation since their father repudiated his inheritance. B) Each of D and E will get P2,225,000 because they will inherit from the estate equally with B and C. C) D and E will get none because of the repudiation; "B" and "C" will get A's share by right of accretion. D) Each of D and E will get P2,000,000 because the law gives them some advantage due to the demise of their father.
