Who's the rightful heir

My father who died left us a 2k sqm land. The title is under his and his brother. They were both declared single in the title. Who would be the legal heir of my father's portion of the land? Will it be his children and wife? Will it be just his wife? will it be just his children only? He doesn't have a last will and testament. Please help

From the Civil Code (RA 386):

Art. 996. If a widow or widower and legitimate children or descendants are left, the surviving spouse has in the succession the same share as that of each of the children. (834a)

In other words, the wife and surviving legitimate children will inherit. Let's use a wife and 2 children as example. If the property is 1,000 sq.m., then the wife will get half (500 sq.m.), and the remaining 500 sq.m. will be divided equally among the wife and 2 children. So the surviving spouse will then get a total of 666.66 sq.m., while each child will get 166.66 sq.m. each.

Hope that helps.

ask ko lng po kng same po ba ito sa case nmin .may naiwan po kc property mga lolo at lola ko wala pong last will.3 po anak nila patay na rin po yun 2 ang mother ko nlng po ang buhay na anak,naghahabol po yun mga pamangkin ng nanay ko sa 2 nyang kapatid na namatay na.paano po ba distribution of property tnx. po in advance

The property left by your grandparents will be divided by three. Your mother and her siblings will get 1/3 each for their share. The 1/3 share corresponding to their parent will be divided amongst themselves by your cousins.

you mean po the property will be divided into 3 sibling of my grandparents or divided into 3 (1/3 for my mother 1/3 po para sa aming magkakapatid 1/3 po para sa 2 kapatid ng nanay ko na paghahatian ng mga pinsan ko ganun po ba?pasensya na po for clarification lng po. thank po uli!!

Yung nanay mo 1/3. Yung kapatid nyang isang patay na 1/3 at yung isa pang kapatid na patay na din 1/3. Kayong magkakapatid wala pang mamanahin. Buhay pa nanay nyo. Yung mga pinsan mo, maghahati hati sa minana ng magulang nila.

Ito po ung order ng intestate
1. Legitimate Children/ Legitimated
2. Parents or Grand Parents
3. Illegitimate Children /
4. Spouse or Widow
5. Brothers and Sisters
6. Relatives upto 5th degree of consanguinity
7. pag wala po lahat, State

Tanong ko lang po kung conjugal property pa rin ang minana ng father ko sa magulang nya kahit May sampong taon na mahigit na po silang hiwalay at may kanya kanya ng pamilya bago namana ng father ko yong pag aari ng magulang nya. Namatay na rin po kasi ang father ko at gusto ng mother ko na may makahati sya kahit marami na syang pera at me pamilya at anak na rin sya ngayon. Tatlo po kaming legitimate at isang illigimate na galing sa father ko. Maraming salamat po.
