Transmissibility of obligations
All rights acquired by virtue of an obligation are generally transmissible. The pertinent legal basis is found in Article 1178 of the Civil Code, to wit:
The exceptions to this rule are: a) nature of obligation; b) prohibited by law; and c) prohibited by stipulation of parties. Moreover, only personal obligations, or those identified
with the persons themselves are extinguished
by death. (Stronghold Insurance Co. v.
Republic-Asahi Glass Corp., G.R. No. 147561, 2006)
