Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Philippines
good day...
Tax Decleared land with no Original Certificate of Title, it was both way back 1966 from the Decreed owner by the first buyer, then, both by second buyer in 1968... all taxes were paid and tranfer, buying was in good faith... What are the main causes, requirements and etc., that we can not have it Titled? The orignal owner was certified by the court through the Decree which was entered for this lot and executed a Deed of Sale to the 2nd owner, same as 2nd to the 3rd present owner. What legal matters do we need to take or have to be done for us to make this land Titled?

If the property is untitled you can file a petition for land registration. The basis is the possession for a certain period counting from that of the predecessors' possession.
