Heirs of Resurreccion
Anderson vs Perkins
De Reyes vs. CA
It is well settled that even if a decision has become final, clerical errors or mistakes or
omission plainly due to inadvertence or negligence may be corrected or supplied even
after the judgment has been entered. The correction of a clerical error is an exception to
the general rule that no amendment or correction may be made by the court in its
judgment once the latter had become final. 11 The court may make this amendment ex
parte and, for this purpose, it may resort to the pleadings filed by the parties, the court's
findings of facts and its conclusions of law as expressed in the body of the decision.
That a special proceeding for the settlement of an estate is filed and intended to settle
the entire estate of the deceased is obvious and elementary. It would be absurd for the
heirs to intentionally excluded or leave a parcel of land or a portion thereof
undistributed or undivided because the proceeding is precisely designed to end the
community of interests in properties held by co-partners pro indiviso without
designation or segregation of shares.
