Dear PAO,
I bought a parcel of land from Jose (deceased). Jose was convicted for a certain crime during his lifetime, and, as far as I know, the penalty imposed on him was either reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment. Now, his son called me and claimed that he would recover the land because the sale entered by his father was allegedly void. According to him, any convict cannot sell his/her property during imprisonment as he/she is incompetent to do so. Since his father was serving imprisonment, it follows that the sale of land is not valid. Is it true that Jose cannot sell his property during his prison term?
