Bumili po kami mag asawa ng lupa sa kanyang ama at okay na po sana kaso di po namin alam ang mga gagawin. Papaano po malilipat sa amin ung lupa? Okay na po yung approved plan ng lupa. Ano po ang susunud na hakbang dun at saan po ako pupunta para mag ayos pa, para sa titulo ng lupa at iba pa po? Salamat po


Translation: My wife and I bought a piece of land from her father. But we do not know what we should do to process of the paperworks/documents. For example, how can the land title be transferred to our name? The land plan has already been approved. What are the next steps and where should I go in order to submit and process documents of the land title, etc.?

You mentioned an "approved plan." I am assuming na mayroong mother title tapos binubukod ninyo iyong nabili ninyong bahagi? Ganoon ba? mahirap kasing sagutin ang tanong ninyo dahil sa kulang sa facts.

Ang pinaka-maigi ay komunsulta kayo sa isang abogado na inyong maaaring pagka-tiwalaan. At mag-repost na lang kayo, this time, lagyan ninyo ng buong kuwento sa lahat nang nangyari para naman masagot ko kayo ng maayos.
