An agricultural area in the name of my late aunt and uncle-in-law was covered by DAR CA (Compulsory Acquisition) with an LBP estimate of 1.2 million. My aunt died before my step-uncle. They had 1 legitimate daughter who also died. My step-uncle had 5 illegitimate children (with 2 mothers). My father has 3 other living brothers (1) and sisters (2) (both my father`s parents and siblings have passed away). What will be the amount of inheritance tax if the heirs pay it now? It is presumed that he is a real child and therefore the heir of the testator, unless proven otherwise. The BIR will issue a tax discharge after verification of the ETR to authorize the Registry of Deeds to transfer title to the property to the heirs. If you were legally adopted, the fact that she had a legal child will exclude her other siblings from the inheritance. However, if there is a valid will, these can be excluded in all cases, as siblings are not mandatory heirs. If the court decides that there has been a criminal record, the institution of heirs is abolished. This may result in the entire will being annulled. And if the entire will is annulled, the legal succession can take place.

When this happens, Danny will receive an equal share of his siblings. However, due to high tax rates, inheritance tax turns out to be a burden for heirs. Heirs cannot enjoy the benefits of their inheritance. In most cases, since it is an unexpected expense on the part of the heirs, they do not pay inheritance tax on time, which leads to the accumulation of penalties and interest and the freezing of real estate and the delay in its development. In other words, the law will invalidate the institution of heirs. However, donations of real estate or personal property (equipment and legacies) remain valid as long as they do not affect the legitimacy of the obligatory heirs. If there are no inventions or bequests, there is a risk that the entire will will be annulled. If the testator has left a will, he is of course free to bequeath the free part of his estate to his brothers and sisters without affecting the legitimacy of the heirs of the duty. But what if the deceased did not leave a will? A legal wife inherits from her husband, unless he had a will that she disinherits for valid reasons, or if there are other considerations (nationality of the legal wife, etc.) that exclude inheritance. Under the inheritance tax amnesty, the authorized executor or legal heirs may apply for inheritance tax amnesty and pay an amnesty tax of six (6) percent on the basis of the deceased`s net estate.

The inheritance tax amnesty applies to the estates of persons who died in 2017 and previous years, with or without duly issued notice, who have not been paid by 31 December 2017. Hi po Atty. I just want to ask for help. My grandparents are both deceased and have property and a house, but there is no will. Meron po silang 10 anak and yung pang 6. Po na anak ang gustong magdecide what will happen sa mga properties na naiwan. While the 5th child said that if he ever wants to decide to take all the assets, he can have it since he was my late grandfather`s Jr. Is it fair for them to take responsibility, or could the decision come from the eldest and should be accepted by other siblings? Thank you Hi atty, My friend case is as follows: She was abandoned by her father when she was about 1-2 years old. Her mother couldn`t raise her, so her aunt and uncle, who had no children, adopted her and registered her in her name.

His mother later lived with another man, but did not marry him. His biological parents are now both deceased and they have left behind some property (land). Relatives told him that the properties are being contested by interested parties. How can my friend claim her rights to such property from her parents? I need your advice about my father`s heirs inherited from his father, but not matrimonial property. The main inheritance came from his grandfather. They are 8 brothers and sisters, 7 legitimate and one is illegitimate. In fact, the inherited land was already divided between the siblings, but not yet fully titled, as the title of original mother was lost. We only have documents such as state taxes, tax return, and photocopy of mother`s title.

The illegitimate child was already dead and the other 3 legitimized are already dead. One of them legitimized died unmarried and had no children. What happens to him as an heir? What if the brothers and sisters sold this land? Do they have the right to sell that part? If so, who will benefit? Who can get the share of the land sold when in reality 4 of them were already dead? Is it the 4 that are alive, or is it divided by 8 again? When a person dies, the real estate and personal property they leave behind becomes part of their estate. Hello, I have a question that needs to be clarified. My parents have six legitimate children. Both parents died. We inherited the real estate from my parents. We signed a special power of attorney giving my only brother and sister as a lawful proxy for us and on our behalf to perform functions on our behalf. One of them was to negotiate, sell or sell all real estate.

My brother has since passed away and my sister is now selling the property. Do my brother`s spouse and children have the right to challenge the APS given to my sister before her death? We recognize that they are obligatory heirs and that they are entitled to my brother`s share. Do they have to perform a SPA by appointing someone else to represent them? Are they related to the SPA that was performed before my brother`s death? Do they have the right to question the sale? All sisters approve the sale. What rights do they have besides inheriting from my brother? For the sake of simplicity, we assume that the parents of the owner of the estate are deceased and that there are only legitimate children and no illegitimate children. A parent can decide whether or not to make a will. If no will is drawn up, the parent`s property is distributed after his or her death in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code on legal succession. I have an uncle who does not die of children, but he had a legal adopted son. Who will own all his property? Can the living brother and sister be shared by his brother? What happens if the father dies and he has a surviving wife and 2 adult legitimate daughters, how will the law duplicate the condition of the degenerate father? (Characteristics are marital) I hope the article could help you, but chances are you have more questions about estate settlement.

Escheatment is only possible by written will, but it is possible to transfer the property while the father is still alive, to the detriment of the legal heirs. It is impossible to foresee all situations and take all necessary measures to avoid family quarrels over inheritance. However, it is possible to pass an estate to one`s heirs without compromising family harmony, but this requires awareness, fairness and planning. My brother suffered for years from a complicated buffet with a colorful lifestyle – created diseases, died recently and was buried after a few days. His will and testamentary documents were only shown to my brother`s matrimonial law by his wife. Notarized as they are, these will documents were loaned by the dying brother to his wife at common law. After the court process, can the legitimate children and the legal spouse claim all this property given to the common-law partner, who lived with and cared for the brother who had become ill? What steps should the family take to challenge the documents held by the common-law partner? Thank you very much. You can either opt for an amicable settlement of the estate, in which all the heirs agree among themselves on how the property should be divided, or go to court and plead the issue. Of course, we cannot be sure because we have not seen and analyzed the will.

But if Danny is actually out of his father`s will, then he can challenge that will in court (There is a special legal procedure to do this. See the corresponding article in www.legalguide.ph). A single person does not have a forced heir if there are no parents or legitimate relatives in the ascending line; or descendants, i.e. children, whether adopted out of wedlock or legally. Thus, there are no legitimations and the whole domain is considered a free part.
