Creating Legal Documents Philippines

Summary

In the Philippines, a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is valid until the principals death and cannot extend beyond it. For estate planning, consider drafting a will or setting up a trust. A holographic will is legally binding if handwritten, signed, and dated by the testator. To ensure your minor son inherits your share without claims from others, clearly state your intentions in the will. Consulting a lawyer specializing in estate planning is advisable to ensure compliance with legal standards and to minimize potential disputes.

i need an SPA for my siblings Mr Emmanuel G. Bautista, Raymond G. Bautista, Ma. Paz B. David and the intended SPA for all legalities as I am out of town. SHould this be specific or general SPA would do?
Hi Rizal! For your situation, it would generally be advisable to use a General Special Power of Attorney (SPA) if you want your siblings to handle a wide range of legal matters on your behalf. However, if there are specific tasks or transactions you need them to handle, a Specific SPA would be more appropriate. Consider what responsibilities you want them to have, and tailor the SPA accordingly.
in our exchanges this SPA would also be used in court litigations as to properties of the family and to act for and behalf of my son a baby of * yrs, and is there an expiry for the SPA? I need an SPA without expiry
In the Philippines, an SPA can be crafted without a specific expiration date. However, it's important to note that the SPA will typically remain valid until it is revoked by the principal or until the principal's death.
For court litigations and property matters, it is advisable to specify the powers clearly in the SPA. Additionally, as your son is a minor, you should ensure that the SPA includes authority to act on his behalf.
Would you like assistance with anything else regarding the SPA process?

In the Philippines, a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) cannot extend beyond the principal's death. Upon death, the SPA typically ceases to be effective. To manage affairs posthumously, consider drafting a will or setting up a trust, which allows for the distribution and management of assets according to your wishes.
