Property Sale Dispute Resolution
Summary
If a property is sold without the legal owners authorization, the sale may be void. The rightful heirs can contest the sale in court, potentially requiring the buyer to return the property and the seller to refund the payment. Legal consequences for unauthorized sales can include civil or criminal charges. To challenge the sale, gather relevant documents, file a petition in court, and present evidence of unauthorized sale. Consulting a property lawyer is recommended for guidance and representation. Contact the Integrated Bar of the Philippines or the Public Attorneys Office for legal assistance.Full Conversation
my father sold our family house after my mother passed away and he didnt ask and tell to us that he is planning to sold our house he is not on the tittle name and they are not merried with my mother the owner of the land house tittle name is on our uncle that passed away
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To better understand and provide guidance, could you clarify if your uncle left a will and if there are any living heirs aside from you and your father?
no nothing
It seems like your father may not have had the legal right to sell the property if the title was in your uncle's name. Here are some key points:
- Only the legal owner (or someone with legal authority) can sell a property.
- Since your uncle owned the property and is now deceased, the property would typically go through probate.
- The property should be distributed according to your uncle's will, or if there is no will, according to intestate succession laws.
You may want to consult a lawyer to explore your options for disputing the sale and protecting your inheritance rights.

The sale may not be legal if your father was not the legal owner of the property. Key points:
- Only the legal owner can sell the property.
- Agreement papers alone do not validate the sale if your father lacked legal authority.
