been converted into one of intestacy (Art. 960 Civil Code) and the
settlement of the estate of the said deceased would have been made
in accordance with the provisions of law governing legal or intestate
succession x x x, in which case the said plaintiffs, as the nearest of
kin or legal heirs of said Florentino Hitosis, would have succeeded
to the ownership and possession of the 61 parcels of land in
question forming part of his estate (art. 1003, Civil Code).

become final and it now constitutes a bar to any action that the
plaintiffs may institute for the purpose of seeking a redetermination

Hitosis.
In other words, the said decision of this Court in Civil Case
(Special Proceeding) No. 3171, in which the herein plaintiffs or their
predecessors-in-interest had intervened as parties oppositors,
constitutes a final judicial determination of the issue that the said
plaintiffs, as ordinary heirs, have no legal rights to succeed to any
of the properties of the late Florentino Hitosis; consequently, their
present claim to the ownership and possession of the 61 parcels of
land in question is without any legal merit or basis.
