Civil personality begins at birth and ends at death. For civil purposes, a fetus is considered born if it is alive at the time it is completely delivered from the mother's womb, unless it had an intra-uterine life of less than seven months and dies within 24 hours of delivery. If there is doubt as to which of two or more persons called to succeed each other died first, it is presumed they died at the same time in the absence of proof. The document goes on to list relevant case law and discuss domicile under Philippine law.
