ENTITLED BANG MAG INHERIT 

ANG WIDOWER SA LUPA NA NAMANA 

NG ASAWA MULA MAGULANG? 

Q. Atty. Good pm. Point of clarification lang po. Ang kapatid ko nag asawa na  may na inherit na property sa mga parents namin na naipangalan sa sister  naming sa ititulo at nakalagay sa nasabing titulo the name of her husband. Wala po silang anak. Namatay na ang sister ko saan mapupunta ung inherited  property from my parents? Kinasal po sila after August 3,1988 noong effective  na po ang Family Code. Sana po mabigyan ninyon ng pansin ang tanong.  Maraming Salamat. E.A. 

ANS: Actually natalakay na ang usaping ito sa TY video ng Batas Pinoy.  As emphasized,kung ung kapatid mo ay nagkatanggap ng inheritance AFTER  na kinasal na sila and they were married after August 3,1988 kung saan effective  na Family Code, the inherited property, whether under conjugal partnership of  gains regime or absolute community property regime ng mag asawa , and the in  the absence of a -nuptial agreement or marriage settlement to the contrary, ay  EXCLUDED sa community property ng mag asawa ang inherited property sa  ilalim ng Art.92-109 ng Family Code.  

However, one should be mindful of the fact na, sa ilalim ng Art.887 ng Civil Code  of the Philippines, as amended ang widow or widower , bilang surviving spouse  ay maituturing na compulsory heir at entitled sa legitime mula sa ESTATE ng  deceased spouse.  

 Ung inherited property although HINDI kasama sa Absolute Community  Property ng mag asawa, ito ay kasama pa rin sa ESTATE o property ng  deceased spouse na kapatid mo. At dahil wala silang anak, at buhay pa ang  

inyong magulang, ung legitime ng mga compulsory heirs ay equal o pareho  pareho.  

 Samakatuwid, sa ganoong scenario, ung 1/2 ng inherited property ay  mapupunta sa surviving parent , at ung natirang 1/2 ay mapupunta sa surviving  spouse bilang kanyang legitime as compulsory heir. 

 In default of your parents, kung patay na sila, ung ½ na para sana sa  magulang ay mapupunta sa mga surviving siblings ninyong magkakapatid at  divided equally. Take note that the law provides that “should brothers and sisters  or their children survive with the widow or widower, the latter shall be entitled to  one-half of the inheritance and the brothers and sisters or their children to the  other half” (Article 1001, Civil Code).
