A legal guide to settling the estate so you can identify what properties are included, name the persons who can inherit them, and understand how to do the process.
Having a family member pass away is one of the hardest things a person will have to go thru. But at some point, we all have to confront it.
I went thru this exact situation a few years ago when my dad died, followed by my mom a few years later. I found it so hard to move on and process their estates.
Hi, my name is Atty. Erwin Zagala. I'm a practicing lawyer here in Quezon City. I've been lecturing on the law since 2009 and I've authored 4 legal books. I'm also a Partner at Legal Access Law Offices in Eastwood City.
Now you may be thinking, "Attorney, wasn’t it a bit easier for you considering you know the law and you help other people settle their estates?"
Not necessarily. You see, there are 2 aspects to picking up the pieces when a family member dies.
First is the legal part. This deals with what the law requires remaining family members to do. The legal part was something I knew because I helped other people do it for their families.
Second is the emotional part. This, I found devastating. I found it painful to look at, much less talk about my parent's deaths so I avoided it for as long as I could.
To complicate things, I’m an only child and I had to do all of this alone without the support of siblings. If you’re reading this, I think you can relate to what I’m saying. This is a kind of pain that only people who've lost someone can understand.
It was brutal. And I remember as I was going thru the process, I prayed:
“Please help me get thru this... and when I do, I promise to help as many people dealing with the same thing as I can. So they don’t go thru as much pain as this.”
A few months later, I finally got thru the settlement with the help of friends who are lawyers and accountants.
Now, I want to fulfill that promise. So with my partner, I created the Estate Settlement Guide for you who may be facing the same situation.
When we do talks and consultations, most people have the same questions about Estate Settlement. To help as many people as possible, we’ve collected these questions and created an online course that covers the questions that come up over and over again.
What does the law say about estates and what are the properties you should include there?
Who are entitled to inherit? How do you determine that?
How does property pass from the person who died to the heirs?
Is a will required? What happens if you don't have a will? How do you implement the terms of the will if the deceased left one?
What are the differences between the kinds of wills? How do I know which one was left with us?
What happens if no will was left? What will the distributions be based on?
How do we know what we owe the government? Is this necessary? What formulas can we use?
Is this optional? What are the consequences if we don't do this? What's the worst that can happen?
