ak314311
20 Phil. 183 , No. 6736
Summary
This case addresses a land dispute arising from an agreement where elderly landowners promised land to a couple in exchange for lifetime care. The Supreme Court clarified that the agreement was not a remunerative donation, but an onerous donation governed by contract law, and upheld the land transfer as the couple fulfilled their care obligations.
Background
An elderly couple, Agustin and Juliana Carlos, needed care and made an agreement with their adopted daughter and her husband, Antonio Ramil, to give them land if they stayed and cared for them for life, fearing the husband would take the daughter away.
