Death Not An Escape To Liability

Death is not a defense that he or his estate can set up to wipe out the obligations under the performance bond. Consequently, petitioner as surety cannot use his death to escape its monetary obligation under its performance bond. (Stronghold Insurance Company, Inc. vs. Republic – Asahi Glass Corp., G.R. No. 147561, June 22, 2006).
