Practice question
The deceased solidarily owed PHP 600,000 with another debtor. No payment has been made. Is the estate claim automatically limited to PHP 300,000 merely because there are two debtors?
- Yes, because solidarity ends at death.
- Yes, because estate claims are always equally divided.
- Yes, because contribution must precede every estate claim.
- Yes, because PHP 300,000 is a universal estate-claim limit.
- No; Section 6 permits claiming the solidary obligation against the estate as if the deceased were the only debtor.
