Who administers the absolute community property during a pending legal separation if there is no written agreement?
The administration of marital property must be properly and neutrally managed while a separation case is active. In the absence of a written agreement, the court shall designate an administrator for the absolute community property. The court possesses the discretion to appoint either one of the spouses or a qualified third person. This vital administrative procedure is governed by Article 61 Family Code of the Philippines. “The court, in the absence of a written agreement between the spouses, shall designate either of them or a third person to administer the absolute community or conjugal partnership property. The administrator appointed by the court shall have the same powers and duties as those of a guardian under the Rules of Court. (104a)” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
