7. Two Parcel of Land, Sold to an Innocent Purchaser

Juan and his sister Juana inherited from their mother two parcels of farmland with exactly the same areas. For convenience, the Torrens certificates of title covering both lots were placed in Juan’s name alone. In 1996, Juan sold to an innocent purchaser one parcel in its entirety without the knowledge and consent of Juana, and wrongfully kept for himself the entire price paid.

1. What rights of action, if any, does Juana have against and/or the buyer? [3%]

2. Since the two lots have the same area, suppose Juana files a complaint to have herself declared sole-owner of the entire remaining second lot, contending that her brother had forfeited his share thereof by wrongfully disposing of her undivided share in the first lot, will the suit prosper? [2%]
