    Galvan vs.

    Segundo
    G.R. No. 238270, July 28, 2020

    FACTS:

    The case involves a dispute between sisters, Amelia Tilan Galvan and
    Lolita Tilan Segundo, over the ownership and division of a house and lot in
    Baguio City. The property was originally purchased by their uncle, Pedro Dor-
    as, in 1972, and both Amelia and Lolita were named as buyers in the Deed of
    Absolute Sale of Realty. The property was subsequently registered under their
    names. Lolita claimed to be the sole owner of the property, stating that
    Amelia's inclusion in the deed was only to ensure her education and nursing
    degree. Lolita also claimed to have paid for the property's maintenance and
    taxes since 1972. Amelia, on the other hand, asserted her co-ownership of the
    property and sought its partition and accounting.

    ISSUE:

    Are Amelia and Lolita co-owners of the house and lot?

    RULING:

    Yes, Amelia and Lolita are co-owners of the house and lot. The Court
    found that the Deed of Absolute Sale of Realty and the TCT issued under both
    Amelia and Lolita's names were sufficient evidence of co-ownership. The Court
    then ordered the equal division of the property between Amelia and Lolita, and
    the net rent earnings from the old building to be equally divided between them
    after deducting necessary expenses and real property taxes.
