Fil-Am Lawyers Assisting U.S. Persons and Filipino Americans with their Philippine Assets

You inherited property in the Philippinesโ€”but do you actually own all of it?

Many Filipino families discover too late that an inherited house or land may have multiple heirs and co-owners.

Your siblings, aunts, uncles, or cousins may have legal interests in the property. And before you sell, transfer, or partition inherited Philippine property, you need to know exactly who has ownership rightsโ€”and whose signature may be required.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Living in the U.S. but dealing with property in the Philippines? Donโ€™t wait until the sale is already on the table to find out who needs to sign.

Know the heirs. Confirm the ownership. Protect the property.

Your parents passed away years ago, but their Philippine property is still under their names?

This is common among Filipino-American families.

But the longer you wait, the more complicated ownership can become.

If an heir dies, their children or spouse may inherit their shareโ€”turning four heirs into ten or fifteen.

If your family still has inherited property in the Philippines that has never been transferred, donโ€™t wait any longer.
