Anim po kaming magkakapatid. Lima sa the same father and mother (married sila) and 1 halfbroeder from mother side. Noong namatay ang nanay ko may naiwan siyan maliit na lupain. Ito ngayon ang pinagkakaguluhan. Noong pinatituluhan ko itong lupa (registeerd sa pangalan ng lahat ng magkakapatid) sabi sa akin na at that time buhay pa tatay ko, yoong half ay para sa tatay ko at the other half sa mga anak. Sa half na ito (mother share) dito my share yoong halfbrother ko pero sa share ng tatay ko (dahil hindi niya siya anak) wala siyang share. Ayaw pumayag ng halfbrother ko sa response na ito at nagsumbong siya sa tita ko. Wala po raw karapatan ang tatay ko sa lupa dahil hindi po niya kami pinalaki. Sabi ng tita ko ipaglalaban nila ito at kukuha sila ng attorney. Ano po ba ang tama? at ano po ba ang batas tungkol sa pamana ng lupa? Siyanga po pala ako po lahat nagbabayad ng mga ginastos para diyan sa lupa pagpapatitulo at bayad ng buwis every year. Yoong pong mga kapatid kong nagaawayaway ni singko wala po silang contribuut sa lupa at sila po ang nakatira diyan sa lupa. Kaya lang kasi gusto po ng halfbrother ko na kong gaano kalaki ang share original children ganon din kalaki yoong hati niya. Pasensiya na po kayo sa tagalog ko hindi po kasi lumaki sa pilipinas.
Topic: We are six siblings. Five from the same father and mother (they were married) and 1 half brother from the mother side. When the mother died, she left a small piece of land. This is now the issue of a quarrel. When I had this land titled (registered under the name of the siblings), my father told me that half of the land should be for him and the other half to be shared by the children.
So for half of this land, my half brother has a share (mother's share), but for the share of my father he does not have any share (since he is not the son of my father). My half brother does not want to accept this response and he complained to my aunt. He said that our father does not have the right to the land, because he did not raise us. My aunt said that they would fight for this and get an attorney. What is right? What does the law say regarding inherited land?
By the way, I paid for all the expenses in registering and getting a title fo the land, and also the taxes every year. My siblings who are fighting over this did not spend a single centavo or contributed any amount for the expenses of the land. In fact, they are staying on the land. The problem is that my half brother wants to have the exact same share as the other siblings.
