Morales v. Registrar of Caguas
Morales v. Registrar of Caguas
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The Registrar of Property of Cagnas refused to record the dominion title judgment involved in this appeal on the ground that it does not appear therein that the successors in interest of the former owners of the property were summoned, nor that the petitioners in the dominion title proceeding are the sole heirs of the former owners, thus rendering unnecessary the summoning of such successors in interest.
Nevertheless, after examining the judgment we find that these requirements were complied with, for it is stated therein that the petitioners, José León Morales and Maria Acosta
It was stated, therefore,' who were the successors in interest of the former owners, and as the judgment further states that the former owners were summoned, the registrar was not justified in refusing to record the judgment as ordered.
The decision must be reversed and the record ordered.
Reversed.
