Binentang Kalahati ng Lupa pero niloko ang seller inaangkin ang buong lupa

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie here. Hingi po sana ako ng legal advice regarding on the land that my mom sold to her aunt long time ago. Medyo komplikado po kasi. Maliit pa po ako nun tumira kami sa probinsya sa La Union, yung pinaglakihan nila na property duon, eh binigay sa kanya ng amang nila. Binili ng nanay ko at pinangalan sa kanya yung lupa. Pinapatayuan ng mom ko yung lupa ng bahay, pero after few years, lumipat kami ng Maynila, at binenta ng mom ko yung kalahati ng property na pinagtirikan nung bahay na pinatayo nila ng dad ko. Pero yung nangyari, yung aunt nya na pinag bentahan nya, nung pirmahan na ng kontrata, hindi alam ng mom ko na imbes na kalahati ng lupa yung nakasulat sa contract yung buong lupa yung nakalagay. Napirmahan na nila, bago pa nya nalaman na may mali sa kontrata. Nung nakita nya, sinabi nya sa aunt nya ang sabi sa kanya wala daw problema dun kasi minor error lang daw yun at papalitan daw nya yun ng kalahati. Kampante ang mom ko kasi relative nya yung pinagbentahan nya. Nag daan ang mga taon, hindi nya tinupad yung usapan nila ng mom ko at inaangkin yung buong property. I think I was 6 or 7 years old that time and it's been more or less 20 years since that property had been sold. Now I have some few questions.

1. Yung mga kapatid po ng mom ko, sinisisi yung mom ko na bakit binenta yung lupa, ng hindi pinapaalam sa knila. Namatay na yung ibang mga kapatid nya at 3 nalang silang natitira. Pero they're still bugging my mom, about it. Saying hurtful words, accusing her and all. Ngayon, pinagbabantaan sya ng mga kapatid nya na idedemenda daw sya pag hindi sya umuwi ng La Union para ayusin yung problema sa lupa. Ang tanong ko, may laban ba yung mom ko in case na mag file sila against her? Hindi po ba na blackmailing yung ginagawa nila sa mom ko? Sa totoo lang po ilang beses na bumalik dun mom ko para makipag areglo dun sa aunt nya na umangkin sa buong lupa. Madami na ding pera ang nasayang pero wala pa ding usad. Saka po nung lumipat kami ng Maynila ay hindi naman maginhawa ang buhay namen. Alam nila yun.

2. Ano po ba maaaring gawin ng mom ko para maayos yung aberya na nangyari sa lupa? Naaawa ako sa mom ko kasi nahihirapan sya sa kondisyon nya, may sakit sa puso, at hangga't maaari bawal sya bumyahe ng malayo. Hindi naman alam ng mom ko na lolokohin sya ng Aunt nya ng dahil sa minor error na yun, naging sakim Aunt nya.

3. Lumapit na sila sa public attorney para iusad yung problema sa lupa, nagbigay na din ako ng tulong, pero pakiramdam ko walang nangyayari at natatapon lang yung perang itinulong ko sa knila. Pakiramdam ko po nag te-take advantage yung hiningan nila ng tulong kasi tatakbo ata yun na mayor o congressman.

4. Kahit madaling araw, kinukulit nila mom ko tinatawagan, pag hindi sinagot ng mom ko tawag nila, itetext sya ng itetext buong araw at pinag babantaan. Ngayon, naapektuhan yung kalusugan ng mom ko kasi hindi sya nakakatulog sa gabi, at sobrang stress, nahihirapan puso nya. Sabi ng mom ko, tatlo nalang nga daw silang natitirang magkakapatid tapos ganun pa daw nangyayari. Ang kinakatakot ko po. Sa kakapush nila sa mom ko, baka mag suicide ang mom ko. Nag attempt na po kasi mom ko noon.

5. Sinabi sa kanya ng mga kapatid nya na pabalik balik daw dun yung Aunt nila na pinagbentahan nya ng lupa at pinapaalis yung mga kapatid nya dun sa property. Pinapatayuan kasi nila ng bahay yung dun sa kalahati ng lupa. Ang tanong ko po may karapatan po ba sila dun sa lupa na yun? Na ang pinanghahawakan lang nila eh dun sila lumaki at nagkaisip? Na nung binenta ng mom ko yung property, sa kanya nakapangalan yung lupa at hindi sa knila.

6. May laban po ba yung mom ko against her Aunt kahit na matagal na yung problema sa lupa? Mababawi pa ba namin yung kalahati ng property? Hindi naman kalakihan yung property pero pinag aagawan kasi ng mga kapatid ng mom ko saka ng Aunt nila yung lupa na yun. According to her after she got cheated on that contract, her Aunt still continues her modus. Marami na daw naloko yung aunt nya at wala man lang atang nag lakas loob na lumaban sa kanya at mag sampa ng kaso. Yumaman yung Aunt nya sa panloloko.

Nahihirapan din po ako kasi andito ako sa malayo, at wala sa tabi ng mom ko para damayan sya. Sana po matulungan nyo ako kung anu po ba tamang gawin sa sitwasyon na ito. Sa tingin po kasi nila na porke andito ako sa abroad at nakapag asawa ng kano eh milyon milyon na ang pinapadala ko sa pinas. Nagtatrabaho po ako dito as Nursing Assistant. Hindi din kalakihan ang kinikita ko. Nag papaaral din po ako ng mga kapatid ko. Tumutulong din ako sa asawa ko sa mga gastusin dito. Kahit anung paliwanag ko po sa mga kapatid ng mom ko. Sarado na isip nila at kakasuhan daw nila mom ko pag hindi naayos yung problema sa lupa.

My question here is: WHY DID YOUR MOM NOT READ THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT BEFORE SIGNING IT?

NEXT QUESTION: WHY ONLY NOW?

Your mom can go to the police and file a blotter stating that at all odd hours of the day and night she is being threatened and coerced by her own siblings. She can even go to the barangay if she wants.

My mom trusted her aunt, because she's her relative. She didn't even know that her aunt will take advantage of that. Sa totoo lang po, matagal na inaasikaso ung lupa na yun, ayaw lang makipag cooperate nung Aunt ng mom ko kaya hanggang ngayon wala pa ding usad. She wanted the whole property but my mom's siblings still fighting for that piece of land.

Also, if your mom is the owner, what right do they have to claim the property? Aren't they just there because your mother allowed them to stay there?

That was exactly my point. But they're still being argumentative and blaming my mom for selling that property without telling them. They are so mad just because that property was so memorable for them, where they grew up.

Then you have your answer.

As for the harassment, well, your mother has remedies. She could also change her number or block the numbers of the people pestering her.

As for the sale of the land to the aunt, well, you really have to consult a lawyer in the flesh on that in the event that she wants to get it back. It's been a really long time, and the lapse of time without your mother doing anything about it will definitely militate against her.

About her siblings pestering her, my mom is just softhearted person. I already told her not to answer the phone or just ignore it or change her contact number but she said they are her siblings and she loves them even though they are against her.

She did everything to get that piece of land for her siblings so they can have the closure they need. But there's still no closure, her aunt was just so cruel. Sa bagal ng sistema ng pinas, kaya inabot ng ganito katagal yung problema sa lupa. Anyway, thanks for the time! I will talk to my mom more about it and will be doing what I think is the right thing to do.

If there was no case filed in court for recovery of possession or quieting of title, I really doubt that it's still the system's fault, to be honest. You could only legitimately say that if you followed the proper procedure.

We did filed a case in court. Pero wala talaga, we follow what the attorney told us to do, we followed the procedure. We even paid the attorney for the service fee and the processing of the case. My mom even signed a legal document to have a representative which her niece my cousin in La Union so she doesn't have to travel all the time because of her health condition. I feel like they just don't care or they just not giving it a priority because it wasn''t a big case not even a huge land. Not even a hectare of land.

Then what happened? If a decision was rendered and you lost, and you did not appeal, that is the end of it, really. You have to respect whatever decision the court has rendered.

I think its just been sitting there. No decision or anything yet. The attorney just told us to wait. And we've been waiting and waiting still no decision. Giving us too many excuses. When we asked the attorney how's the case is going, he'll just tell us that he'll follow it up to the court. He even told us that we have chances of winning the case. But from what I am seeing, it's still a blur.

You can go and see for yourself. All you need is the docket number and the branch where the case was filed. If you don't trust your lawyer anymore, hire another one.

I've been thinking about it. I'll have to convince my mom to hire a new one. It's just hard for me to do it myself since I'm not in the country right now. Anyhow, Thanks for your help! I'll update you if there's progress or not.
