RULE 73 REMEDIAL LAW COMPENDIUM SECS. 1-2

7. The conjugal partnership shall be liquidated in the
proceedings for the settlement of the estate of the deceased
spouse or, if both have died, in the proceedings for either
estate. If separate proceedings have been instituted for
each estate, both proceedings may be consolidated if they
were filed in the same court. T h e probate court has
jurisdiction to determine whether the property is conjugal
as it has to liquidate the conjugal partnership to determine
the estate of the decedent (Bernardo, et al. vs. CA, et al.,
L-18148, Feb. 28, 1963).
Since the last sentence of Sec. 2 p r o v i d e s that
liquidation may be made in either proceeding where both
are still pending, it is a matter of sound judicial discretion
in which one it should be made (Phil. Comm. & Industrial
Bank, etc. vs. Escolin, etc., et al, L-27860 & L-27896,
Mar. 29, 1974).

2. W h e r e an a t t o r n e y r e n d e r s s e r v i c e s to the
administrator or executor personally to aid in the execution
of his trust, the administrator or executor is liable for the
fees, but he can move for reimbursement and charge such
fees as expenses of administration where the same is
reasonable and proved beneficial to the estate (Uy Tioco
vs. Imperial, etc., et al., 53 Phil. 802).
Where, however, the attorney's services were rendered
in a litigation involving such administrator or executor in
his capacity as trustee of the estate and for the protection
of the interests of such estate, the attorney's fee is
chargeable to the estate (Rodriguez vs. Ynza, 97 Phil. 1003).

2. The better practice for the heir who has not received
his share is to demand the same through a proper motion
in the same probate or administration proceedings, or for
reopening of said proceedings if already closed but still
within the reglementary period for appeal, and not through
an independent action (Guilas vs. Judge of the CFI of
Pampanga, et al., L-26695, Jan. 31, 1972; Macias vs. Uy
Kim, et al, L-31174, May 30, 1972).
In Divinagracia, et al. vs. Rovira, etc., et al. (L-42615,
Aug. 10, 1976), it was held that where the order closing
the intestate proceeding was already final and executory,
the same cannot be reopened on a motion therefor filed
after the lapse of the reglementary period.

3. U n l i k e t h e p o w e r g r a n t e d to e x e c u t o r s and
administrators, an order empowering the guardian to sell
property of his ward shall not be effective for more than
one year after it has been granted. In the case of mortgages
and other encumbrances, the one-year period does not
apply.
4. A guardian may lease property of the ward, but if
the lease is to be recorded there must be proper authority
by the court (see Art. 1647, Civil Code). It is believed that
the same rule applies if the term of the lease is more than
one year as the same is an act of dominion (see Art. 1878,
Civil Code). Note, however, the discussion of a similar
situation involving administrators or executors in Note 2
under Sec. 3, Rule 84.
5. Appeal, not certiorari or mandamus, is the proper
remedy against an order of the court a quo authorizing the
sale of a ward's property (Lopez vs. Teodoro, etc., et al.,
