EJECTMENT CASE

In Philippines
Last Updated: Apr 30, 2026
I am seeking a lawyer who specializes in ejectment cases and has a proven track record of successfully handling such matters.

We purchased a foreclosed property from a bank on September 1, 2025. However, the current occupants of the property are refusing to vacate despite having no legal right to remain. The property title and tax declaration have already been consolidated and transferred under our names.

We would like to engage legal counsel to assist us in initiating the appropriate legal action to recover possession of the property.

Based on what you described, you have a valid cause of action for ejectment (unlawful detainer) against the current occupants. Since the title and tax declaration have already been consolidated and transferred in your names, you have a clear legal right to possess the property. The occupants' continued stay without your consent and without any legal basis makes them unlawful detainers. The case is filed before the Metropolitan Trial Court of the city where the property is located, and the primary relief sought is recovery of possession. Ejectment cases are summary in nature, meaning they are resolved faster than ordinary civil actions.

Yes, Ejectment. But after Sept. 25, 2026, the right action is the recovery of possession or accion publiciana because you're filing that case in the concept of the new owner of the property. In which case, eviction is also a right that will be given to you by the court once the case is finally decided.
