Hi Atty, how can we, the 12 heirs, inherit the real estate of our late father who died 34 years ago. The testator only has tax returns in his name. The heirs have paid his actual taxes and are not in arrears, all paid in full by 2021. Hello Atty, how to determine if adoption is legal to validate legality, whether legitimate or illegitimate? Competing heirs and principal heirs occupy the same level on the scale of the estate, i.e. they all have the right to inherit the testator`s property. Secondary heirs have the right to inherit only if there are no principal heirs.

Can a child who was adopted at birth by a couple but who was not legally adopted inherit the property of the deceased parents? The child bears the surname and is now of age.
Deceased parents could not leave a written will, but only orally. Succession is a form of acquisition whereby the property, rights and obligations of one person are transferred to another person or to others by will or by operation of law up to the value of the inheritance upon death. Simply put, there will be a legal or legal succession if the deceased dies without leaving a will. Thus, the law intervenes to distribute the inheritance in favour of its obligatory heirs on the basis of the testator`s presumed will. The settlement of an estate involves the transfer and division of ownership of real estate between the heirs of the deceased and the other beneficiaries. All properties in the estate must be declared and the correct taxes associated with each must be paid with the BIR. No declared assets may be transferred to an heir or beneficiary if the corresponding inheritance tax has not been paid. In the legal succession, there is a surviving spouse, 3 legitimate children and 4 illegitimate children, and the amount of the net estate to be distributed to the heirs is 3 million. How should the estate be divided? 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. My father died without a will. He was an American citizen. My mother is still alive and she is also an American citizen. They have 4 living children, all of whom have reached the age of majority and 2 have died. The children are all U.S. citizens.
My mother inherits 50% and the living children the remaining 50%. Both deceased children were married. Do their spouses contribute to the 50%? Reserved persons are persons who, according to the law, are the beneficiaries of all the testator`s property and to whom the law reserves for them a part of the inheritance that is designated as legitimate. This share is immutable and inviolable, unless it is rejected and/or validly taken by law itself by the mandatory shareholders concerned. Hi atty, My friend case is this: 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? Hello, if the deceased is single, more parents, more children, has 6 deceased siblings and only 1 living sibling who is now a U.S.
citizen. How will his estate be divided? On the other hand, if the deceased is illegitimate [irregular appointment], here is the applicable legal order of succession, namely: 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. However, if one of the testator`s heirs is one or more illegitimate children, they cannot exclude the legitimate parents. You consent to them and the surviving spouse if the deceased has no children, children or legitimate descendants. When a person dies, the real estate and personal property they leave behind becomes part of their estate. The annex makes it the last division, but nothing prevents the heirs from unanimously agreeing to another division or agreement. On the other hand, the application of an irregular legal succession takes place if the testator is illegitimate and has no last will at the time of death. It depends on the circumstances. The transfer could be vulnerable because it represents a deviation from the mandatory shares of the heirs.
In general, the estate of a person who executes a will consists of two parts: the legitimate part, which is reserved by law to the heirs of the duty and divided according to the ratios established in the Civil Code; and the free part. The free portion can be given to anyone, unless the law prohibits the recipient from receiving an inheritance or donation. It depends on the concrete facts, but it is believed that the birth certificate shows legal filiation, unless proven otherwise. My mother-in-law left a sum of money. She currently has three surviving children and two deceased. I am the legal wife of one of the deceased children, I can still get some of the monthly money from my in-laws. We have no children by my late husband. I would like to have your answer.
