FACTS:

Juan Miciano, judicial administrator of the estate in question, filed a scheme of partition. Andre Brimo,
one of the brothers of the deceased (Joseph Brimo) opposed Micianos participation in the inheritance.
Joseph Brimo is a Turkish citizen.
ISSUE: Whether Turkish law or Philippine law will be the basis on the distribution of Joseph Brimos estates.
HELD:
Though the last part of the second clause of the will expressly said that it be made and disposed of in
accordance with the laws in force in the Philippine Island, this condition, described as impossible
conditions, shall be considered as not imposed and shall not prejudice the heir or legatee in any manner
whatsoever, even should the testator otherwise provide. Impossible conditions are further defined as
those contrary to law or good morals. Thus, national law of the testator shall govern in his testamentary
dispositions.
The court approved the scheme of partition submitted by the judicial administrator, in such manner as to
include Andre Brimo, as one of the legatees.
