Ito po ay tungkol sa minana nming ari arian sa mother namin. Ang lupa pong minana namin ay mana naman ng nanay ko sa kanyang magulang. 2006 po ng namatay ang nanay ko, at naipasalin po namin ang mga titulo sa aming 3 mga kakapatid bilang common owners. Namatay po ang kuya ko 2012, siya po ay may asawa at 3 anak. Ang bunso na lang po ang menor de edad. Ngayon po gustong maibenta ng hipag ko ang lupa, dahil hindi kami magkakasundo, ang gusto naming mangyari e sya ang gumastos sa transfer of title dahil wala naman kaming ganung kalaking pera para gastusin. In the first place sya ang may kailangan. Tama ba ito? Second, hanggang saan ang karapatan nya sa lupang minana lang namin sa aking magulang? Hindi naman namin pinagkakait sa kanya ang mana ng mga anak nya, hindi lang kami handang gumastos para dito.


Meron din kaming commercial apartment chaka residential house and lot sa likod nito. Ano ang magiging karapatan nya at ng mga anak nya na magimpose ng rules sa apartment? Katulad ng upa, dahil okupado ko ang isang unit na halos kalahati lamang ang laki sa ibang unit, gusto nya akong magbayad ng kasing halaga ng ibang unit na alangan naman sa floor area nito.


If ever naitransfer nya na ito, ano ang kasiguraduhan ng mga bata na makukuha nila ang share mamanahing lupa sa kapatid ko?


At kung sakali naman na talagang hindi kami magkasundo sa panahong ito, pano pag dumating ang panahon na kami naman ang may gustong ibenta ang lupa at ipitin nman nya kami at hindi nya pirmahan ang transfer documents? Ano ang pwede naming gawin dito.


salamat po ng marami.



Translation: This is concerning a land property that we inherited from our mother. This land was inherited by our mother from her parents. My mother died in 2006 and we had the name on the land title changed to my siblings and I, as common owners. My older brother died in 2012, and he left behind his wife and 3 children. Only their youngest child is a minor.

My sister-in-law (wife of my deceased older brother) wants us to sell the property, because we could not agree. We want our sister in law to spend for the transfer of title, since we do not that much money to pay for the fees. And in the first place, she is the one asking to sell the property. Aren't we right? Secondly, what is her right to the land that we inherited from our mother? We are denying her children's rights to the land inheritance, but we just can't pay for the fees. We also have a commercial apartment and residential house at the back. What is her right to impose rules on these commercial apartments? For example, because I am occupying one of the apartment units, which only half the size of the other units. But my sis-in-law wants me to pay the same rental fee as the other units, even if the floor area is smaller.

And if the land title is transferred, what assurance do we have that it is their children (our nieces/nephews) who would be getting the share of their deceased father?

Finally, if we cannot come to terms/agreement, what if we siblings decide to sell the property and she refuses to sign the transfer documents? What could we do?

Naku, kung ang lupa ay nasa pangalan na ninyong magkakapatid, ang share ng asawa at anak ng iyong kapatid ay limitado doon sa 1/3 share niya doon. So, sa lahat, 1/3. Sa pinagbentahan ng lupa at doon sa share sa renta ng mga paupahan ninyo. Pero, iyong 1/3 na share ay neto -- ibig sabihin, matapos na i-bawas ang mga gastusin katulad ng real property tax, etc.

Kung siya ang gagastos sa pagpapatitulo ng lupa (kasi kailangang mailipat ang titulo sa pangalan ninyong dalawang kapatid at sa "heirs of (name ng brother mo)" kapag nagawa na ito, saka lamang ito puedeng ibenta. At kung ibebenta ito, dapat ay ikaw at ang iyong nakababatang kapatid ay naka-pirma din.

Ang mangyayari ay ang parte ninyo sa pinag-bentahan, babawasan noong nagastos ng hipag ninyo sa pagpapa-ayos noong mga papeles (tig 1/3 din kayo sa hatian sa gastos).

Ang maigi ay komunsulta kayo sa abogado at nang maayos ang lahat. Magtanong muna bago pumirma ng kahit na ano maging power of attorney or kahit na anong papeles. Mas maiging may abogado kayong magkapatid.
