Estate settlement dispute

In Philippines
Last Updated: Apr 26, 2024

My grandfather (testator) Died in 1996. There are 8 heirs (siblings) mentioned in his will. The estate tax has not been paid until now. 4 out of 8 sold me their share with a notarized deed of sale and a deed of donation. The other 3 wanted to invalidate/ cancel my contract. I'd like to go ahead and pay half of the estate tax, capital gains taxes, etc. How do I go about doing that?

Different countries have distinct legal frameworks governing estate matters. In Ghana, estate duty is only levied after probate has been granted by the court. In cases where a property is willed to multiple individuals, consensus among all parties is required to dispose of their interests for a valid title transfer. However, if the property is bequeathed to a single person, that individual can freely dispose of their interest without additional complications. Regarding estate tax payment, it's prudent to ascertain the interested parties before property transfer to ensure proper title acquisition and avoid unnecessary expenses.
