Dear PAO,
A year after my mother passed away in 2022, my siblings and I found out that she executed a typewritten private instrument, donating one of her farm lots to her friend. The document stated that, in consideration of their true and long friendship, my mother decided to transfer and convey the said farm lot to her friend by way of donation to take effect upon her death. Furthermore, it was also stated that if her donee-friend predeceased her, the donation would be deemed rescinded and have no force and effect. We also learned that her friend had been occupying the farm lot since my mother became terminally ill. Since her death, I have sent several demand letters to this person for the reconveyance of the said lot to us because I believe that the donation is invalid. The typewritten private instrument was not notarized. However, the person refused to comply with my demands. Was the donation valid?
