    Example:

    John and Marsha are newlyweds. Marsha got pregnant.


    On the 6th month of Marsha’s pregnancy, John died in a
    vehicular accident.

    (a) Will the child be able to inherit from John? Why?


    IT DEPENDS on whether the child is eventually born
    alive. Under the law, birth determines civil personality;
    and an unborn child cannot inherit for lack of civil
    personality. However, a fetus can be considered born for
    all purposes that are favorable to it, like being entitled to
    an inheritance, provided it is eventually born alive, or if it
    had an intra-uterine life of less than 7 months, it should
    stay alive for more than 24 hours after its complete
    delivery from the mother’s womb. In the given problem,
    the circumstances of the birth are not stated. Thus, the
    capacity of the fetus to inherit would be determined by
    the circumstances at the time of its complete delivery
    from the mother’s womb.

    ALAC

    Article 40. Birth determines personality; but the


    conceived child shall be considered born for all
    purposes that are favorable to it, provided it be born
    later with the conditions specified in the following
    article. (29a)
    Article 41. For civil purposes, the foetus is considered
    born if it is alive at the time it is completely delivered
    from the mother's womb. However, if the foetus had
    an intra-uterine life of less than seven months, it is not
    deemed born if it dies within twenty-four hours after
    its complete delivery from the maternal womb. (30a)
