What We Handle For You
Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement Preparation
We draft clear settlement contracts for your family arrangement, whether you are dividing land among several legal heirs or executing a waiver of rights.
Estate Tax Settlement and BIR Clearance
We calculate tax liabilities, apply legal exemptions, file your returns with the correct Revenue District Office, and secure your electronic Certificate Authorizing Registration.
Title Transfer and Cancellation
We work directly with the Register of Deeds and Assessor Office to cancel the old title and issue brand new certificates to the rightful heirs.
Legal Publication and Notices
We organize mandatory public notices in accredited newspapers to satisfy legal requirements and protect your property against future claims.
Extrajudicial Settlement with Simultaneous Sale
When heirs plan to sell inherited property directly to a buyer, we structure the estate partition and property sale inside a single unified agreement.

Agreement and Document Drafting

We submit documents to the tax bureau, settle required estate taxes at authorized banks, and collect your tax clearance.

We present approved clearances to the Register of Deeds and City Assessor to release brand new land titles.

Got Questions? We Have Answers
What is an Extrajudicial Settlement?
An out of court agreement where legal heirs divide an estate without litigation, provided there is no will, no debts, and full agreement.
Can we settle an estate if an heir lives abroad?
Yes. Overseas heirs can sign a Special Power of Attorney verified at a Philippine Embassy or authenticated with an Apostille.
What happens if heirs disagree on how to divide the property?
Settlement requires unanimous agreement. If disputes remain unresolved, the estate must go through court partition.
How long does an extrajudicial settlement take?
The process typically takes three to six months depending on document completeness and agency timelines.
