FELIX, J.:

Special Proceedings No. 892 of the Court of First Instance of Tarlac was instituted by Julia Espinosa seeking to declare her sister Inocencia Espinosa an incompetent and to have the latter's properties placed under guardianship. Although the petition filed therein does not appear to be among the records of this case, it could be gathered from other pleadings that in 1955, Inocencia Espinosa was already 99 years old; that she was legally married on March 9, 1950, to Vicente Figueroa, about 40 years of age; and that the properties owned by Inocencia were worth not less than P65,000 nor more than P75,000.
