Jamby Madrigal is heir to aunt’s estate–court

A Makati City Court has declared that former Sen. Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal is an heir to the estate of her aunt, the late philanthropist Consuelo “Chito” Madrigal-Collantes, who died three years ago.

In a seven-page order, Branch 148 Acting Presiding Judge Ma. Rita Bascos-Sarabia said questions on the legality of Jamby’s participation should be “put to rest with finality” with the order.

Jamby’s lawyer Ernesto Francisco Jr. said they would seek the nullification of the sale of all Madrigal-Collantes properties done prior to the court order.

In her 2006 will, Madrigal-Collantes left her fortune to her husband, Manuel Collantes; her niece Susana Madrigal, (Jamby’s older sister); her grand-nephew Vicente Gustav Warns, and another niece Gizela Gonzalez-Montinola.
