LAND OWNERSHIP

hi i just want to ask if we(our) family has a right on our grandfather's land here in antipolo..

first, my grandfather has a land here in antipolo he got a kerida or mistress. they are not engage but the name of the land was transfered to her.. in her name..

now my question sir is this
1.do we have right to claim the land that is under her name?
2.can we file a complaint because we already live in the house which was built by my grandfather for 16 yrs now..
3. she doesnt; want to negotiate with us what can we do?


here is our situation.
1. my father is the son of my grandfather
2. my grandmother is still alive
2. my grandfather already pass away
3. we still live in the house for 16 yrs now and the land occupying our house is under his mistress name..

your grandmother and father (and uncles/aunts) are the proper parties to annul the tct, BUT you have to prove that the money used to pay for it came from your grandfather. naming it to the mistress will be considered an invalid donation.

it is to your advantage that you are occupying the property, but I recommend that you file the petition first before she files an ejectment case.

thank you so much for your advise.. you helped me a lot..

i just want to ask where i can file a petition and do i have to get a lawyer to transfer the title of the land to us? and lastly how much does it cost to hire a lawyer?? thanks

cost of the lawyer depends on which one you retain. the petition will be filed in the rtc where the property is located.
