• Your Original Certificate of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title has been lost or destroyed. What should you do next? 06.07.2026 47мин

  Your Original Certificate of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title has been lost or destroyed. What should you do next? Can the title still be restored? What documents should immediately be secured? Should you first verify the records with the Registry of Deeds? What government records should be obtained? What evidence should be preserved before taking further action? If you are buying land, should the loss of the title affect your due diligence? These are some of the practical legal questio...
• A government-issued land title or award has already been issued over your property. What should you do next? 04.07.2026 48мин

  A government-issued land title or award has already been issued over your property. What should you do next? Should you immediately assume that nothing can be done? Should you accept the situation without asking questions? Should you first gather documents? Should you verify the title? Should you discuss the matter with your own lawyer before making your next move? These are some of the important legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. These questions become even more importa...
• Can you apply for land registration even if the land became alienable and disposable only years after your family started possessing it? 04.07.2026 32мин

  Can you apply for land registration even if the land became alienable and disposable only years after your family started possessing it? Should the date of possession matter? Should the date of government classification matter? Can possession by parents or grandparents become legally relevant? Can the possession of previous owners affect a later application for land registration? These are some of the legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. Questions involving land registrati...
• When a person dies, what exactly forms part of the inheritance? 02.07.2026 2мин

  When a person dies, what exactly forms part of the inheritance? Is it only the land? What about bank accounts? Shares of stock? Rental income? Business interests? Loans? Debts? Can every right be inherited? Can every obligation be transferred to the heirs? These are some of the questions that frequently arise when families settle the estate of a loved one. Understanding what may or may not form part of an inheritance is an important starting point before making decisions involving inherited r...
• Can you safely rely on a Transfer Certificate of Title when buying land? 01.07.2026 16мин

  Can you safely rely on a Transfer Certificate of Title when buying land? What if another person later claims ownership? What if someone presents an older Deed of Absolute Sale? What if there are conflicting tax declarations? Should a buyer investigate beyond the title? What level of due diligence is enough before purchasing high-value real estate? These are some of the questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. For developers, investors, land bankers, OFWs, foreign heirs, buyers of ag...
• What is the difference between a "decedent" and a "testator"? 01.07.2026 6мин

  What is the difference between a "decedent" and a "testator"? Do these terms mean the same thing? Why do lawyers, judges, and courts use different terms when discussing inheritance and estate settlement? Does the existence of a will change the legal terminology used in a case? These are some of the questions that frequently arise in discussions involving inherited land, estate settlement, and succession. Understanding legal terminology is one of the first steps in understanding real estate la...
• Who becomes the owner of land after a person's death? What is succession? 01.07.2026 1мин

  Who becomes the owner of land after a person's death? Does ownership automatically pass to the children? Does the surviving spouse automatically become the owner? What if there is no will? What if there are several heirs? Can one heir sell the property without the participation of the others? Can a buyer safely purchase inherited land before the estate has been settled? These are some of the legal questions that frequently arise when families inherit residential, agricultural, commercial, ind...
• What if someone claims that your Deed of Absolute Sale is fake or fraudulent? 30.06.2026 18мин

  What if someone claims that your Deed of Absolute Sale is fake or fraudulent? Would that allegation alone invalidate the document? What evidence should a court examine? What documents should a landowner preserve? What due diligence should buyers, heirs, developers, and investors undertake before purchasing high-value real estate? These are some of the legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. Allegations involving fake deeds, forged signatures, fraudulent documents, defective n...
• If you believe your rights over your land have been violated, what should you do next? 29.06.2026 9мин

  If you believe your rights over your land have been violated, what should you do next? Should you wait? Should you immediately file a case? Should you first gather documents? Should you consult your own lawyer? Many landowners only begin asking these questions after discovering that another person has occupied, developed, registered, sold, or claimed ownership over their property. The earlier you understand your legal rights and obligations, the better prepared you will be to make informed de...
• Don't wait until years have passed before protecting your rights over your land. 29.06.2026 25мин

  Don't wait until years have passed before protecting your rights over your land. If you believe your ownership, possession, boundaries, title, inheritance, or other rights over real property have already been violated, ask yourself: Am I acting soon enough to protect my rights? Every day that passes may make a real estate dispute more difficult to resolve. Whether the issue involves a title, a boundary, an inheritance, possession, a subdivision, an easement, or another property concern, takin...
• When does the prescriptive period begin in an action involving land? Is it counted from the execution of a deed? From the registration of the title? 28.06.2026 48мин

  When does the prescriptive period begin in an action involving land? Is it counted from the execution of a deed? From the registration of the title? Or does the answer depend on the facts, the applicable law, and the issues presented in the particular case? These are some of the questions that frequently arise in Philippine real estate disputes involving high-value properties. Rather than relying on assumptions or summaries, I encourage everyone to read the applicable laws and the actual Supr...
• If you buy land from the person whose name appears on the title, are you automatically protected by law? Not always. 28.06.2026 47мин
