Questions On Land Title
Title is a generic term that refers to the legal evidence of ownership one has over a property. It includes such documents as Tax Declarations, Real Property Tax Receipts, Deeds of Sale, and the Torrens Title. What we normally think of as title is actually a Certificate of Title also known as the Torrens Title, which results from the Torrens System of Land Registration. The Certificate of Title is the best form of evidence of land ownership.
The following are some of the most commonly encountered questions on Land Title and/or Land ownership in the Philippines.
1. How can one acquire Land Title?
The easiest is through sale and by executing a document called Deed Of Sale, which shows the legal transfer of title from the name of the seller to the buyer. The Deed Of Sale is then taken to the Registry of Deed to be officially recorded. This type of title is also called Transfer Certificate of Title.
When no title has yet been issued over a parcel of land, Title it can be acquired either through:
- Judicial proceedings – by filing a petition for registration in Court
- Administrative proceedings – by a filing an appropriate application for patent (e.g. homestead) in the Administrative body (DENR) and registration of this patent becomes the basis for issuance of the Original Certificate of Title by the Register of Deeds.
2. Are there lands with no Land Certificate of Title yet?
Yes and they are called public lands and include the following:
- Alienable or disposable (A & D Lands) – those that can be acquired or issued title. The Philippines Constitution provides that only agricultural lands can be disposed of to private citizens.
- Non-alienable lands – includes timber or forest lands, mineral lands, national parks. No title can be issued over any portion within this area.
3. Can a foreigner have the Land Title in his/her name?
Unfortunately, the answer is “No”! Land Title can only be put in the name of a Filipino or a Corporation with at least 60% Filipino ownership. As a foreigner, it would be helpful to be aware of this limitation on your right of owning Land in the Philippines. Please refer to the article that discusses land ownership in the Philippines made especially to the foreigners.
Can you tell me if a dual citezen have the Land Title in his/her name?
Thanks

Hi Jenny,
Yes that is allowed provided one of the citizens is that of a Filipino. There a few limitations, though. Please refer to the other article also on Philippine Citizenship Issues and Land Ownership.

Hi, my father found out recently that the lot where the house is standing is not his but the title is under his sister. The last time he remembered that the lot was surveyed and first titled was during the declaration of PD 557 by Pres. Marcos in 1974 for barangays to stand on its own. He clearly remembered that when it was surveyed it was where the boundaries or fences are standing. This is around 800 sqm. What was left of him was only 200 sqm which means he lost 600sqm. The adjacent property was his sisters which is also around 800 sqm. Now both lots are titled under his sisters’ name. We have been living on the house in this property since the 60s and the house has been rebuilt so many times (no titles whatsoever available at that time). The adjacent property has no standing house ever since. The said sister is also holding other residential land titles which is exactly on the opposite side of the road (I remember my aunts’ house was standing on that lot with 2 other neighbors estimated total of 1600sqm which displaced the neighbors too). The barangay captain at that time attest that he supervised the survey and could not believe the final outcome why my aunt had amassed so much titles on her name.
How can my father reclaim his rights to the property as my brother is desperate of putting up his own house for his family close to my parents?
The former barangay captain is working with my father. Also, my sister talked to my aunt in Manila but she is not backing down because she is holding that piece of paper called ‘Title’.
Any clarification and guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I lost my original certificate of land title about a year ago. Where & How can I acquire a new one? What are the requirements that I need to provide? How long will the process took place?
Thanks for your help…
How about a cheesy real estate joke? If you ever think that no cares if you are alive or dead then just try missing a few house payments.
Hi Ellen,
It’s a long and complicated process. For one, losing a Land Title is not a joke to be taken lightly. And you can’t just acquire one in a snap.
Please visit the Registry of Deeds in your locality.

Hi! May grandfather passed away a few years ago. We found out that a few parcels of land were sold to him (in exchange for food/ material goods). Since the deals were done years before I was born, there were only written agreements signed by the previous owner and my grandfather. How can we create or have the land titles for these land properties? Do we need a lawyer for this?
Also, there is another land that has a title. How do we go about the transfer of the title? My grandmother (his wife) is still alive and two of his children (my mom and uncle) too.
Thank you!
Hi,
Some one is claiming that she owned our property because she said she have a true deed of sale in NHA. This girl filed her deed of sale to NHA, and NHA accepted it as true copy but i think it was a scam because the property is abandoned and has no owner as we check it after we bought it, our fault is we didn’t provide the deed of sale to nha sooner. We also bought the property on 1995 but the seller faked us with a deed of sale. since then we are paying the tax up to 2010 and build a house on it, this girl wanted us to pay for the lot that was abandoned for 15 years and claiming she bought it on the owner.
Is there any resolution for this? this is really frustrating. The true owner of the land is no longer reachable because she abandoned the house and there are a lot of people trying to steal the property. please help.

My grandparents on my dad\’s side died in Philippines many years ago and had 30 hectares of land however the title was under my grandma\’s name. Long story short, the land was left to the 5 kids. Three of the kids waived their right and gave it all to my dad and my uncle. I\’m assuming 15 hectares each.
My mom divorced my dad shortly after the whole family(with my 2 brothers and me) migrated here in US 21 years ago. My dad just recently passed away while in the philippines. So now questions arise:
1. Thru my research, since we are legitimate kids, how much of 15 hectares are we entitled to? there are 3 kids.
2. Does my mom have rights to the land eventhough they are divorced? If she does, how much?
3. The title of the land is still under my grandma\’s name? How does that work? My uncle is still alive but is bedbound and can\’t do anything.
What is the first thing we need to do? How can we get the title to be transferred to our name?
What does my uncle need to do to get his share? I\’m sure his kids will help him on this…
Please help, need desparately..

Hi.
My husband and I are planning to buy a parcel of land however, we just learned that the lot has no title yet since it is an “awarded land”… we would like to know if awarded lands can be bought and what should we do to get it titled?
Thank you.
Is it possible if we register a lot with two names but not related to each other? The problem is we got a lot in quezon city but the lot area is just 20-25 square meters. Now the division plan wouldn’t allow us to get that area coz its such a small space. So our association came up with an idea that we should put two names into one title in order for us to surpass the 28 square meters minimum space.
Hello, May I know the step-by-step procedures on how to transfer the real estate title and what are the requirements needed and how long will it take to process the transfer of title? Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi.am just curios. What happens if a foreigner buys land in Philippines with a false declaration of Filipino citizenship? Is this punishable by law? Or does he lose the land? What laws did he break?
Hi,
What are the step by step procedures on acquiring a land title? I have with me the deed of sale between my father & the seller. My father was already dead & my mother is planning to transfer the estate to me.
Hope you can give me advice.
Thanks in advance & more power!
