When does the prescriptive period begin in an action involving land? Is it counted from the execution of a deed? From the registration of the title?

Is it really a boundary dispute?

Your neighbor says you built on his land. What should you do next? Is it really a boundary dispute? Can the issue be resolved by simply looking at the land title? Should you immediately remove your fence? Should you commission a relocation survey? What documents should you gather first? What legal issues should you discuss with your own lawyer before taking further action? These are some of the important legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. Boundary disputes, overlapping property claims, relocation surveys, conflicting technical descriptions, title verification, and possession issues frequently arise in residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, tourism, and development properties. Reading Philippine laws, government issuances, and Supreme Court decisions is not intended to encourage anyone to handle legal concerns without professional guidance. Rather, it helps landowners, heirs, investors, developers, business owners, buyers, and OFWs ask their own lawyers better questions so they can better understand their rights, obligations, available options, and potential legal risks before making important decisions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jan Edmond Ruz ATTORNEY-AT-LAW / LAWYER GEODETIC ENGINEER / LAND SURVEYOR REAL ESTATE BROKER 📧 Email: janruzlaw@gmail.com [janruzlaw@gmail.com] 📱 Viber / WhatsApp / Globe 0917-678-4457 +63-917-678-4457 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I am your host for this PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE LAW co-learning channel.

Your Original Certificate of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title has been lost or destroyed. What should you do next?

Your Original Certificate of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title has been lost or destroyed. What should you do next? Can the title still be restored? What documents should immediately be secured?

A government-issued land title or award has already been issued over your property. What should you do next?

A government-issued land title or award has already been issued over your property. What should you do next? Should you immediately assume that nothing can be done? Should you accept the situation without asking questions? Should you first gather documents? Should you verify the title? Should you discuss the matter with your own lawyer before making your next move? These are some of the important legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. These questions become even more important when they involve residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, tourism, or development properties worth ₱15 Million or more, where a single decision may have long-term legal and financial consequences. Reading Philippine laws, government issuances, and Supreme Court decisions is not intended to encourage anyone to handle legal concerns without professional guidance. Rather, it helps landowners, developers, investors, land bankers, business owners, OFWs, foreign heirs, and buyers ask their own lawyers better questions so they can better understand their rights, obligations, available options, and potential legal risks before making important decisions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jan Edmond Ruz ATTORNEY-AT-LAW / LAWYER GEODETIC ENGINEER / LAND SURVEYOR REAL ESTATE BROKER 📧 Email: janruzlaw@gmail.com [janruzlaw@gmail.com] 📱 Viber / WhatsApp / Globe 0917-678-4457 +63-917-678-4457 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I am your host for this PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE LAW co-learning channel.

Can you apply for land registration even if the land became alienable and disposable only years after your family started possessing it?

Can you apply for land registration even if the land became alienable and disposable only years after your family started possessing it? Should the date of possession matter? Should the date of government classification matter? Can possession by parents or grandparents become legally relevant? Can the possession of previous owners affect a later application for land registration? These are some of the legal questions discussed in today's Supreme Court case. Questions involving land registration, alienable and disposable lands, surveys, imperfect titles, land classification, possession, and ownership frequently arise in residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and tourism-related properties worth millions of pesos. Reading Philippine laws and Supreme Court decisions is not intended to encourage anyone to handle legal concerns without professional guidance. Instead, it helps landowners, heirs, investors, developers, surveyors, buyers, and business owners ask their own lawyers better questions so they can better understand their rights, obligations, available options, and potential legal risks before making important decisions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jan Edmond Ruz ATTORNEY-AT-LAW / LAWYER GEODETIC ENGINEER / LAND SURVEYOR REAL ESTATE BROKER 📧 Email: janruzlaw@gmail.com [janruzlaw@gmail.com] 📱 Viber / WhatsApp / Globe 0917-678-4457 +63-917-678-4457 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I am your host for this PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE LAW co-learning channel.
