Got Questions? We Have Answers
What is an Extrajudicial Settlement?
An Extrajudicial Settlement is an out of court agreement where all legal heirs agree on how to divide the property of a deceased relative without going through lengthy court litigation.
Can we settle an estate if an heir lives abroad?
Yes. Heirs living abroad can sign a Special Power of Attorney authenticated at a Philippine embassy or certified with an Apostille to authorize a representative in the Philippines.
What happens if heirs disagree on how to divide the property?
An extrajudicial settlement requires agreement among all legal heirs. If heirs cannot agree, NIEUWLAND helps clarify legal shares, though unresolved disputes may require judicial partition through court.
How long does an extrajudicial settlement take?
The entire process generally takes 3 to 6 months depending on document availability, tax bureau processing schedules, and local Register of Deeds timelines.
