Property Division Legal Rights

Summary

A notarized agreement from 2011 grants you rights to build on your mothers property. Your mother cannot unilaterally dismiss this agreement without your consent. You may be entitled to compensation for the house you built if the property is divided among siblings. Fair division should consider lot value and accessibility. To challenge or negotiate, review the agreement, consult a property lawyer, propose a family meeting, and present your case. If necessary, consider mediation or legal action. For legal assistance, contact the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Bicol Chapter for services like legal advice, court representation, and document notarization.
