Later I will ask the Question, for now lets look at it logically. For me. I have spent many times (Good & bad) in the PI since my R&R time in the Military, the 5 day bash in Manila when the UK handed HK back to China. Then after all this I still wanted to be here, so I married a Filipino (as we do) Now my life revolves around my Wife with tangled web issues all the time, every move I (we ) make is tied to my/our Lovely Lady and my/our Princess/children Over the years, I and many others have put up Threads about out Demise, are they covered, have we made the right or enough Provisions for them to enjoy the rest of their lives. I know of only man here, ( not on this Forum) who has a wife older than him, so with this in mind we are all married to ladies Younger than us. YES? We all go about our day to day Life, saying to ourselves I hope they will be OK when I am gone but .......... Here is the Question fellow members. "Did any of us think/Imagine what would become of US if (God Forbid) they Died First?" Now to me, this raises a question I can't answer as I sit and write this Thread Start. I Honestly have no Idea what I would/should do, where do we start? What unnerving things will the Extended family Bring about. I tried to ask Azon and was met with Hostile talk but it has to be thought about Yes? JP
Not really something I want to think about but it has happened to a few expats that I have met. Really sad stories.
I only know one Expat that made a unique arrangement there (actually in Cebu) in the event that his wife died first. The wife had already drawn up the papers for the sale of the house and property to a Filipino outside of (her Family) that stated, upon her passing xxxx amount of peso's needed only to be transferred to an existing bank account that was that of the expat and Wifes, and once the funds were verified a Lawyer held the original documents in which the outside Filipino had copies of and she needed only to appear for signing and the deed was done! That way her Expat husband would be redeemed in full value as the sale was essentialy between one Filipino to another. This was only told to me and currently as I know...they are both still alive. This entire action was to prevent automatic transfer of house and property to her relatives whom I assume she and he felt were just not to simply reek the benifit of (no foreign) ownership laws and assume inheritance. Would this all work out?? They seem to think so along with the Lawyer I gather.
