My mother inherited a parcel of agricultural land, early this year we hire a geodetic engineer to survey the said land for titling purposes. After the survey we found out that the land was divided into two different lot numbers. Lot No. 3254 named after my mother and the other is Lot No. 3258 named after the late Martiniano VVVVVV which per records in our municipal assessors is a new lot no. as of 1994 with no land history in record. For so many years we thought that this whole land is ours only to find out recently that it was divided into to two lot.
After hearing of the survey outcome the heirs of Martiniano VVVVVVV, immediately paid its taxes and penalties and claimed the said lot with only the Tax Declaration Certificate in hand as proof of ownership of the said land.
What legal proceedings would we do to contest the said claim of the heirs of Martiniano VVVVVVV?
