Hi! I am Jan Edmond Yncierto-Ruz, your host in this co-learning channel. Welcome to a platform dedicated to providing free information and insights on real estate law and inheritance law in the Philippines for both lawyers and non-lawyers.


It is crucial to stay informed about property laws and rights, especially regarding real estate, estate and succession, last wills, inheritance, absolute sale, donation inter vivos, agricultural tenancy (saop), land surveying, and other related topics. This channel assists anyone interested in collaborating with their lawyers on cases or transactions involving real estate.


We share contributions from co-learners who share links from GOV.PH websites involving Supreme Court decisions, laws, rules, regulations, IRRs, circulars, and memorandums related to real estate and inheritance law.


For our lawyer co-learners, please share updates. For non-lawyers, this channel will guide you in finding the right lawyer for your situation. The Supreme Court website has a "Lawyers List" to help identify suitable legal assistance.


As a lawyer (attorney-at-law), notary public, geodetic engineer, land surveyor, and real estate broker, I believe in the power of shared knowledge and collaboration.


I focus my sharing on these topics that interest me:


  • Probate and Estate Matters: Insights into the probate process, including working with your lawyer on a last will and testament, estate proceedings, and extrajudicial settlements.
  • Declaration of Heirship: Guidance on establishing a declaration of heirship and its implications for asset distribution.
  • Shares of Inheritance: How to determine the shares of inheritance among heirs.
  • Real Estate Lawyer Services: Clarifying the role of your own real estate attorneys in navigating your own legal challenges.
  • Property and Land Title Issues: Understanding legalities surrounding property disputes and considerations when seeking your land title lawyer.
  • Real Estate Contracts: Essential elements in contracts and avoiding common pitfalls by collaborating with your lawyer.
  • Eviction Processes: Understanding tenant rights and how lawyers assist in eviction cases like unlawful detainer and forcible entry.
  • Agrarian Reform: Discussing agrarian reform laws, agricultural tenants, and their impact on land ownership.
  • Land Surveying: The importance of land surveys in defining property boundaries and ensuring clear titles.


This channel is for those planning to visit their lawyers for legal advice involving real estate litigation, real estate transactions like absolute sales or lease agreements, and property development.


With co-learning, we share the knowledge needed to engage with your legal counsel effectively.


This platform encourages open dialogue about real estate law and related inheritance matters. I invite both lawyers and non-lawyers to share updates. Together, we can explore property laws and estate management, making information accessible.


Thank you for being part of this co-learning group! Please contribute by sharing links from GOV.PH websites that contain information on the latest updates involving real estate litigation and transactions.
