Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify if a land title is authentic?
Title verification involves checking the original title at the Registry of Deeds, confirming the technical description matches the actual property, verifying there are no liens or encumbrances, and ensuring the seller has proper authority to sell. Our office conducts comprehensive title searches to protect your investment.
Can foreigners own land in the Philippines?
Under Philippine law, foreigners generally cannot own land but may own condominium units (up to 40% of a building's total units) or lease land for up to 50 years, renewable for another 25 years. Filipino-foreign corporations with at least 60% Filipino ownership may own land for business purposes.
What documents are needed for property transfer?
Property transfers require the original title, tax clearance, tax declaration, valid IDs, special power of attorney (if applicable), and other documents depending on the transaction type. Our office prepares all documentation and coordinates with government agencies for a smooth transfer.
