I would like to seek advice po sana about a land ownership issue. Nakatira po kasi kami sa lupa na pamana samin ng tatay namin. Pero ang lupa na eto po was given by the land owner to my dad who is then a tenant. But there was no transfer of titles po nangyari. Until now wala po kami hawak na title though we pay for some government tax po for this land. Since we wanted to process the title of this land we talked to the owner and presented some documents regarding the land transfer and application of title. But they owner refuse to sign any documents. Would like to know po what should we do now. We are living here about more than 60 years. Thank You so much. Ms Joana

Well, you can apply for title if unregistered land pa yan and you are living there more than 60 years in the concept of an owner (namana ninyo ang lupang ito), public, peaceful, uninterrupted and adverse. Ayon sa ating batas under Civil Code may tinatawag tayong. Acquisitive prescription kung saan you can acquire ownership and other real rights after the lapse of time. May dalawang uri po ito: Ordinary Acquisitive Prescription which requires 10 years of possession in good faith and with just title. Extraordinary Acquisitive Prescription which requires 30 years or more without the need of title or of good faith or any other condition. You can avail of this law but you need the services of a lawyer para tulungang kang maestablish ang mga kinakailangang dokumento.

Maam, pa advise naman po.. yung nabili po namin na lupa ya naka sangla ang mother title. may deed of sale kami, kaso di po nakalagay ang lot number, ano po ba dapat namin? valid po ba ito as evidence kung sakali yung mother title ay maremata ng bangko?

Looking forward for your kind reply.
