    1) Magdalena A. Tumang filed a petition to declare the testate proceedings closed with respect to herself and two heirs who had received their allocated properties. 2) Guia T. Laguio opposed the petition, arguing that not all properties had been delivered and a partial closing was not allowed. 3) The court denied the opposition and motion for reconsideration, finding that receiving cash dividends without requiring an accounting constituted a waiver to later question the accounting.

    Tumang vs. Laguio (G.R. No.

    L-50277 February 14, 1980)

    Facts: The widow of the deceased Dominador Tumang, Magdalena A. Tumang, administratrix
    and executrix of the will, filed a petition to declare the testate proceedings definitely terminated
    and closed with respect to herself and two of her children. The petition was premised on the fact
    that the aforesaid heirs had already acknowledged receipt of the properties adjudicated to them,
    and in order for such properties to be transferred in their names, there was need for an order of
    the court declaring the proceedings closed with respect to the aforesaid heirs. The petition was
    opposed by appellee's daughter, Guia T. Laguio and her children on the ground that appellee,
    as administratrix and executrix, had not yet delivered all properties adjudicated to them and that
    there could be no partial termination of the proceedings.
    Tumang, as required by the court, filed a "Compliance", alleging that the estate and
    inheritance taxes had been fully paid; that as certified by the Deputy Clerk of Court, no claim
    has been presented that has not already delivered all the properties and dividends of the shares
    of stock adjudicated to her and her minor children since the approval of the original and
    amendatory projects of partition; and that with such admission, the court no longer has
    jurisdiction to entertain the motion under consideration.
    In view thereof, the opposition and the motion for reconsideration was denied, the court
    ratiocinating that counter-petitioner's receipt of the cash dividends in question without first
    requiring the administratrix the accounting being sought to be rendered for purposes of
    determining the correctness of the cash dividends, constituted a waiver to question its
    correctness.
    Issue:
    Whether or not petitioners have waived the right to demand accounting.
    Ruling:
    No, the right to demand accounting have not been waived.
    The duty of an executor or administrator to render an account is not a mere incident of
    an administration proceeding which can be waived or disregarded. It is a duty that has to be
    performed and duly acted upon by the court before the administration is finally ordered closed
    and terminated, to the end that no part of the decedent's estate be left unaccounted for. The fact
    that the final accounts had been approved does not divest the court of jurisdiction to require
    supplemental accounting for, aside from the initial accounting, the Rules provide that "he shall
    render such further accounts as the court may require until the estate is wholly settled.
