Grandparents' last will and testament executed jointly
Dear PAO,My sister traveled to the United States to arrange the burial of our Filipino grandparents. Among the items she retrieved from their possessions was an old, handwritten last will and testament. The will divided their properties in the Philippines among their children and other descendants. Both Lolo and Lola signed it, and it was notarized.
' The reason for this prohibition, especially as regards husband and wife, is that when a will is made jointly or in the same instrument, the spouse who is more aggressive, stronger or dominant in will or character may be able to dictate the terms of the will for his or her own benefit or for that of third persons whom he or she desires to favor. Considering that your grandparents executed their last will and testament jointly, such will is invalid under Philippine law.
