Eric Quizon and I are co-executors of Dolphy's estate, says Zsa Zsa Padilla

Rodolfo “Dolphy” V. Quizon had named his long-time life partner Zsa Zsa Padilla and his son Eric Quizon as co-executors in his last will and testament so they can manage his estate after his demise.   As co-executors, both of them will administer and conserve Dolphy’s properties and other assets until his estate has fully paid all his outstanding debts and his remaining properties have been distributed to all his heirs.   Interviewed by Lolit Solis on GMA’s entertainment show Startalk, Zsa Zsa said  she and Dolphy’s son Eric Quizon had been managing the finances of the beloved comedian in his final days, and the both of them will continue in that capacity.   “Itong mga mga huling buwan kasi, kami nina Eric na ang nagma-manage ng kanyang mga finances,” said Zsazsa.   “Kahit papaano, nabayaran na naming ang lahat na dapat bayaran sa RVQ Productions at sa BIR [Bureau of Internal Revenue],” she explained.   “Kahit papaano naman, meron kaming nakalap na pera,” she added. “Lalu-lalo na si Eric – napakasipag niyan at maganda ang kanyang business acumen – kaya nga pinagkatiwala ni Dolphy yung kanyang estate kay Eric. So kaming dalawa ni Eric ang kanyang [co-]executor [ng kanyang will].”   The money they have collected and any income generated from such funds accrues to the benefit of Dolphy’s estate. In other words, Zsa Zsa and Eric will not get any monetary benefit except for allowances from managing the estate. They can still receive any inheritance Dolphy bequeathed to them in his will.   But before Zsazsa and Eric can continue managing Dolphy’s finances and property, the last will and testament of the Philippine “King of Comedy” must first be produced and certified as genuine in what is known as “probate proceedings” in a court of proper jurisdiction, which depends on several factors provided by law. — ELR, GMA News
