Wife #1 has 3 children (C1, C2, C3)
C1 is dead, C2 married, C3 single
Wife #1 and father married way back in 1960s.
Our mother died around 1990.

My father married wife #2 after death of our mom.
Wife #2 has 2 children (C4, C5)
Wife #2 and father married around 2014

Pls. advise how are we going to split the land left by our parents. Land Title under - is combined Wife #1 and Father. Second family is asking their claims on the property.

Thank you so much for ur help, since we cannot afford a lawyer for fee right now.

Pa assist naman po sana pano po maging hatian sa inheritance.. thank you..

Are all children your father's ?

Is wife 2 alive?

Is it same land as when you mother died?

Any other biger assets?
If so, then it's much more complicated, because SOME were suppoused to be splited between marriage 1 children back when your mother died.

It's even more complicated if wife 2 added assets to the marriage. Has she?

--
IF almost all assets are the land, all 5 kids are your father's and wife 2 is dead, then it's rather easy. You children get 1/5 each.

Thank you for the assistance in the response.

My Answer.
Wife #2 is alive
All children is by my father.
The land has my father's and mother's name (Wife #1) on it.

Wife #2 has zero asset added.

All assets are gained by Wife #1 and father.

(Asuming there are no will - and asuming I think corect

IF the land WASN'T inherited BY your father or mother, but they GOT it together, because otherwice it can be NOT conjugal by they married before 1987.

Legaly it's counted step by step.
When wife 1 died:
Your father inherited 5/8
and you 3 children 1/8 each.

When your father died;
Wife 2 inherit 7/12 of the 5/8 your father did inherited =35/96=ca 36,5 %
All 5 children get 1/12 each of the 5/8 your father did inherited =5/96 =ca 5 %

IF I think corect, you 3 from first marriage will NOT get anything when wife 2 will die, so the kids from the second marriage, will get their main parts then.

Summary:
3 kids from marriage 1 get around 12,5 + 5 % = around 17,5 % each.
Wife 2 get around 36,5 %
2 kids from marriage 2 get only around 5 % each now.

@Lunkan How/where did you get the computation?

Hi Attorneys,

Case 1
So when wife #1 dies
shares pool is 4
3 children @ 1/4 each
father @ 1/4 each

Case 2
father remarried and passed away
shares pool is
POOL = 3 children + wife 2 + 2 new children
POOL = 3+1+2 = 6?

(Asuming there is no will.)
When it's a common heritance with a conjugal property and one of the parents alive, then:
The alive spouse get half PLUS same as share as one child get.
So if there are three children, then the children get 1/4 each of the HALF to split after the spouse kept his/her part
= 1/8 to each child
and 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8 to the spouse.

I have forgot in which law I did read it. I'm specialiced in business and tax laws but found some other interesting laws during my researchs.

 Case 1:
Well. The pool is 8 if counting whole property.
If counting only half, then it become as you say plus the father "get" the half he had before.

Case 2:
No. FIRST get wife 2 half of the 5/8 the father got, when the first wife died.  AFTER that the REST of that 5/8 is split in 1/6 pieces as you said.

So it become as I summed it up earlier.  (The total sum became 99 % instead of 100, because I rounded the decimals when I counted, so everyone get a litle more so it become 100.)

I'm not attorney I just studied some laws for my own use.
