Articles 1931-1932

This document summarizes Articles 1931 and 1932 from the Civil Code of the Philippines. Article 1931 states that any actions taken by an agent without knowledge of the principal's death are still valid and binding for third parties who contracted with the agent in good faith. Article 1932 requires the agent's heirs to notify the principal of the agent's death and take interim measures in the principal's interest until a new agent can be appointed. Generally an agency ends with the agent's death but there is an exception if the agency was coupled with an interest, allowing the agent's heirs to act to protect their interests.

ARTICLES 1931-1932

BY: PAULA GRACE V. VILLEGAS


Article 1931

“ Anything done by the agent, without knowledge of


the death of the principal or of any other cause
which extinguishes the agency, is valid and shall be
fully effective with respect to third persons who
may have contracted with him in good faith.”
Example:
P authorized A to sell the former’s land. Subsequently, P
died. Without the knowledge of P’s death, A sold the land to
T.

Can the heirs of P recover the land from T?

No, if both A and T acted in good faith.Yes, if either A or T acted


in bad faith.
ARTICLE 1932

“If the agent dies, his heirs must notify the


principal thereof, and in the meantime adopt such
measures as the circumstances may demand in
the interest of the latter.”
Continuation by agent’s heirs
of agency.
General Rule. — An agency calls for personal services.
Ordinarily, therefore, the agent’s duties cannot be
performed by his personal representatives, and in case of
his death, the agency is generally thereby terminated.

Exception.- Where the agency is one coupled with an interest in


the subject matter of the agency , the death of the agent will not
instantly end the relationship, and consequently, his heirs or
representatives may subsequently exercise the power conferred
at least insofar as may be necessary to protect the interests of
the estate of the agent.
