Makukuha pa ba pamana ng nayapang magulang sa ibang bansa? Apo sa tuhod, inheritance great grandchild

Gusto ko pong mag tanong kung may karapatan pa ba kaming makuha ang share ng lolo ko galing sa father nya. Pumunta nang Alaska ang grand grand father ko para humanap ng bagong ikabubuhay, at doon ay nakapag asawa syang muli (around 1950's). Hindi ko alam kung legal sila doon.

Bale late 1960 ng padala ng sulat ang grand grand father ko sa aking ama na may makukuhang mana ang lolo ko. Kabilang pa rito ay kukunin sana ang ama ko papunta sa Alaska. Ngunit sa di inaasahan ay namatay ang grand grand father ko at dun nahinto ang kontak namin sa kanila.

2013 nang simulan kong hanapin ang kamag anak naming nasa Alaska at natagpuan ko sila sa isang social site. Muli kong nilalapit ang loob ko sa kanila upang magkaroon ng lakas ng loob na itanong ang parteng pamana ng lolo ko. Ngayon po ay nasa late 88 na ang lolo ko at binilin niya sa akin na tulungan ko silang makuha ang mana nya. Paano po ba ang dapat kong gawin? Salamat


Translation: I would like to ask if my grandfther still has the right to get his inheritance from his father (my great grand father).

My great grandfather went to Alaska, U.S.A. to find new livelihood and better opportunities, and there he got married again (around 1950s). I'm not sure if their marriage was legal or not.

During the late 1960s, my great grandfather sent a letter to his son (my grandfather) telling him that he would be receiving an inheritance. My grandfather was also told that he would also be petitioned to go to Alaska. But unfortunately, my great grandfather died and we lost contact with them.

In 2013, I started looking for our relatives in Alaska and I found them through a social networking site. I started communicating with them in order to find the courage to ask them about my grandfather's supposed inheritance. My grandfather is now 88 years old, and he asked me to help get his inheritance.What should I do or what steps can I take?

Naku, I really cannot say. First, there are a lot of holes in the story. SEcond, napaka-haba na ng panahon na dumaan. Baka ang mga ari-arian ay naubos na, o na-kuha na ng US government dahil sa wala nang umaangkin nito. O kaya, baka na-confiscate na ito ng IRS para sa taxes due. I don't really know.

For you to find out, I guess you would have to ask at the Embassy, or go to Alaska and do some research. I really cannot answer your question.

Salamat po Atty. Yung nga din po ang kwento ng magulang ko na kailangang doon mismo mag asikaso. pero maxadong mahala ang gastusin papunta at pag asikaso doon. hindi din sigurado ang kalalagyan pag dating doon. Gayunpaman salamat po sa inyong payo.
