G.R. No. 75884
September 24, 1987
FACTS:
Two parcels of land under 1 TCT are owned by Alfredo Go Ong
married to Julita Go Ong. When Alfredo died, his wife Julita was
appointed administratrix of his estate. Julita thereafter mortgaged 1 lot
to Allied Banking Corp. to secure a loan obtained by JK Exports,
annotated as a lien on the original TCT, with the following notation:
mortgagees consent necessary in case of subsequent alienation or
encumbrance of the property
On the loan there was due a sum and Allied tried to collect it from
Julita. Hence, the complaint alleging nullity of the contract for lack of
judicial approval which the bank had allegedly promised to secure from
the court. In response thereto, the bank averred that it was Julita who
promised to secure the courts approval.
Trial court ruled for Julita, stating that the contract is valid. CA
affirmed with modification the lower courts decision
RULING:
The contract is valid.
