Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff estate sought cancellation of an agreement of sale for immovable property, eviction of the occupant, and payment of rentals. The first defendant claimed he had purchased the property verbally from the deceased before death, then entered into a written agreement with the deceased's son after death. The court found no valid sale agreement existed and ordered eviction with holding-over damages.
