    Greetings all,

    Am in need of an attorney for land title. My MIL, resides in Bacong, needs to title her property. She purchased the lot and built her house in the 1990s. She has tax deed, etc., but never completed the paperwork for the title. Appears that the owner of the land is now sick so she wants the title application complete before he passes. One attorney has quoted her a price of 250,000....anyone know of a decent attorney.

    thanks

    Buster

    All depends on the value of the property.
    In perfect circumstances an attorney will charge 10 % of the value as fee (inclusive all taxes and government fees)
    In a case that has not been solved for so many years a fee between 50% and 100% of the value seems reasonable.
    Even if there is more than 6 months between notarising a deed of sale and paying the capital gains tax this tax will double or triple even it is the seller who has to pay that tax

    Call and talk to Ron, 0921-790-7821. Not an attorney but a specialist in land titling, and charges much less than an attorney will.

    You might does not need an Attorney. I assumed when you bought the land, you have deed of sale and paid the capital gain tax at BIR. That gives you 15 days or so(I am guessing on the days) and if you did not settle for it within those days the you have to pay extra penalty. Just remember where you guys stopped the processing then start from it. The good way to ask for procedure is go to registry of deeds office, that is the second floor of BIR building. They are giving you list on step by step procedure. You could feel a lot of hassle to go office to office, to get certifications and etc. If you do not have patience then better to pay someone to do it for you.
    By the way, if the owner of the land is sick then you do not have to be in panick as long as he or she already signify the deed of sale then you are safe because that closes the sale.

    Good Luck!

    It is always possible to register a parcel of land with the register of deeds but the deed of sale must reflect the real situation, and that is not the case because the deed of sale is for some land while there is a house built on it.
    One of the requirements for the registration of land is:

    Sworn Declaration of No improvements by at least one (1) of the transferees or Certificate of No Improvements issued by the Assessor's office, if applicable.

    Perhaps it is still possible to make a new deed of sale in this case for "house & lot"
