The husband and the wife cannot sell property to each other,
except:
(1)When a separation of property was agreed upon in the
marriage settlements; or
(2) Of course, the agent may buy property placed in his hands for sale or
administration if the principal gives his consent thereto.
Prohibition with respect to executors and
administrators
The prohibition refers only to properties under the
administration of the executor or administrator at the time
of the acquisition and does not extend, therefore, to
property not falling within this class. Executors do not
administer the hereditary rights of any heir. Such rights do
not form part of the property delivered to the executor for
administration. Consequently, the prohibition in No. (3) of
Article 1491 does not apply to a purchase by an executor of
such hereditary rights (e.g., 1/10 interest in the estate),
even in those cases in which the executor administers the
property pertaining to the estate.
Prohibition with respect to public officials and
employees
The prohibition refers only to properties:
(1)belonging to the State, or of any subdivision thereof, or of any
government-owned or -controlled corporation or institution,
(2) the administration of which has been entrusted to the public
officials or employees. Thus, a provincial governor or treasurer
entrusted with the administration of property belonging to a province
cannot buy said property while the school superintendent who has no
charge of the same is not within the scope of the prohibition.
Note that the prohibition includes judges and government experts
who, in any manner, take part in the sale.
