CEBU LAWYER - PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE LAWS | CASES
Can one person own or retain more than 5 hectares of agricultural land in the Philippines?
Can one person own or retain more than 5 hectares of agricultural land in the Philippines? What happens if you own 10 hectares? 20 hectares? 50 hectares? Can you simply sell the excess land? Can a series of sales affect the portion you are allowed to retain? What if the land was acquired through inheritance? What if the property has already been covered by CARP? What if you are planning to buy agricultural land from an existing landowner? What should you verify before completing the transaction? And what happens when DAR coverage, retention rights, previous transfers, and farmer-beneficiary claims all become involved? These are some of the questions raised in today's Supreme Court case involving agricultural land, CARP coverage, landowner retention, transfers of agricultural land, and agrarian reform beneficiaries. If you own, are inheriting, or are planning to buy agricultural land, the 5-hectare issue is something worth asking about before making a major property decision. Reading Philippine laws, government issuances, and Supreme Court decisions is not intended to encourage anyone to handle legal concerns without professional guidance. Rather, it helps landowners, heirs, farmers, investors, developers, buyers, and business owners ask their own lawyers better questions so they can better understand the facts, documents, risks, and legal issues involved in their particular situation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jan Edmond Ruz ATTORNEY-AT-LAW / LAWYER GEODETIC ENGINEER / LAND SURVEYOR REAL ESTATE BROKER Email: janruzlaw@gmail.com Viber / WhatsApp / Globe 0917-678-4457 +63-917-678-4457 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I am your host for this PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE LAW co-learning channel.
