Civil Law, 2011 Bar — Question 21

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Spouses A and B leased a piece of land belonging to B's parents for 25 years. The spouses built their house on it worth P300,000.00. Subsequently, in a case that C filed against A and B, the court found the latter liable to C for P200,000.00. When the sheriff was attaching their house for the satisfaction of the judgment, A and B claimed that it was exempt from execution, being a family home. Is this claim correct? A) Yes, because while B's parents own the land, they agreed to have their daughter build her family home on it. B) No, because there is no judicial declaration that it is a family home. C) No, since the land does not belong to A and B, it cannot qualify as a family home. D) Yes, because the A and B's family actually lives in that house.
