ownership of property left by deceased parents. please help us.. we're tired of this issue... =(

Good day po sa lahat! Meron lang po sana ako na gusto ihingi ng legal advise sa inyo.

Scenario:

1.Yung lola ko po meron po syang bahay at lupa na na acquired po nya since noong dalaga pa po sya..

2. Nag asawa po yung lola ko,kinasal at nagkaroon ng dalawang anak -- mother ko at tita ko.

3. Noong namatay yung asawa ng lola ko, nagsama po sila ng step lolo ko at pagkatapos ng ilang taon saka nagpakasal.

4. Yung step lolo ko po, may 3 anak na po sya bago pa nya nakilala, nakisama at nagpakasal sa lola ko.

5.namatay na po yung lola ko, pati po yung step lolo ko pero yung mga anak ng step lolo ko naghahabol po sa lupa at bahay.

Questions:

1. May rights po ba yung mga anak ng steplolo ko? If meron ano po ang rights and limitation nila sa naiwanan na property ng lola ko?

2.Matagal na po na hindi nabayaran yung amilyar ng bahay, totoo po ba yung sinasabi ng real state broker na pwedeng mailit ng gobyerno yung bahay lalo na po na hindi namin napapalitan yung name ng owner sa land title (name pa rin po ng lola ko sa pagkadalaga)?

3. Ano po bang pwede namin gawin tungkol sa isyu na to? Napapagod na po kami sa ginagawa ng mga anak ng step lolo ko.

salamat po. God bless po.

help naman po..

1. Meron karapatan yung 3 anak sa side ng step lolo mo... they are called illegitimate children. and therefore, they are entitled to a 1/2 shares of your 1 shares sa property ng lola mo. kung gusto mo maging syo lhat ng property, wala mappnta sa illegitimate children ng lolo mo, then question the validity of the marriage between your lola and your step lolo. malay mo, ndi pla dumaan sa legal process yung pagpapakasal ng lola mo sa step lolo mo... kung mapatunayan mo yun, iyong iyo na ang buong property. sarap noh? hehehe...

2.True, tama ang real state broker. makukuha tlga yang bahay na yan dhil ndi pgbbyad ng amilyar. ang ibang kaso nga, bahay at lupa... naging foreclosed because of failure to pay. Kahit na ililipat mo sa ibang pangalan yung property ng lola mo, kunwari ililipat mo sa pangalan mo, then you are obliged to pay some expenses that was incurred years ago... it does not mean na if there are changes from the original owner to a new owner, your payments from previous debts will extinguish... no ndi ganun.

3. Suggestion ko, benta mo na lng yung bhay at lupa... kung ndi mo maibenta, then settle it with your illegitimate brothers or sisters... makipag arreglo ka ho... agreement if gusto nyo. since you have the largest share. kht na you have the largest share, you and youre illegitimate bros and sisters are also required to pay the dues. ndi lng ho ikaw... paghahatian nyo din yung nagastos lhat2x.

more suggestion ko ho. hired a lawyer, yung kakilala nyo ho much better, make him authorized to administer the property ng lola mo. pra sa gayun, walang ma release syo at sa anak ng step lolo mo kht isang centimo without paying dues and payments incurred years ago.

para ang dadating na lng syo is yung shares mo at kanilang shares na. wala ng ibang babayaran. kac ang gulo eh pag naibgay mo na ang shares nila, tpos hihingi ka pambyad pra sa gan2 at doon, cgurado sakit sa ulo na namn yan...

It is important to know when the two marriages took place. If they were contracted before August 1988, which was the year the Family Code took effect, the default property relations between the spouses is Conjugal Partnership of Gains (CPG) otherwise, it is Absolute Community of Property. Also, it is important to find out if there was Pre-nuptial Agreement.

I have good reasons to believe they were contracted under the Old Civil Code and there was no pre-nuptial agreement. Hence, their property relations is governed by Conjugal Partnership of Gains. Under this regime, separate properties of the spouses i.e. those which were acquired before the marriage will not form part of the common property of the spouses unlike under the Absolute Community regime where properties before and during the marriage will be deemed a common property of the spouses.

Since those properties were acquired by your grandmother before the first and second marriages, it necessarily follows that they were separate properties of your grandmother. That is to say, that they did not become a common property of either marriages. Those were her paraphernal property from the beginning until she died.

It stands to reason, therefore, that the children of your step lolo cannot succeed from the separate properties of your lola.

Hence, the legal successors to her properties are your mother and your Tita.

thank you po sa mga sagot nyo..mr or ms endless and mr zulfikarl. malaking tulong po yun... salamat po sa mga tulong nyo kahit panu may konting alam na kami kung paano yung gagawin namin..

@atty. zulfikarl - what if my lola and step lolo was married twice... one in 1983, and the other one in 1990? we checked on the marriage contract nung 1990, sa ilalim may nakalagay "previously married - 1983" pano po kaya un? dapat cguro malaman namin lahat ng details/or date about sa kasal nila. pero thank you po tlga sa tulong. magkano po kaya bayad sa lawyer pag ganun?range lang po. salamat po..
