Tax Declaration and Land Title

[step22]

Hello guys just need more info, opinions, thoughts on this, is a tax declaration of real property enough proof that your are the owner of a certain lot/land?

If you are familiar with a tax declaration at the lower portion of it there is a Memoranda then it says” Mort for PhP 50,000 Rural Bank of Batangas as per instrument executed by<my ate’s name> on june 20, 1987” What does this portion mean?

By the way the document is on my ate’s name.

How does it differs from a title? And how can she get a title? What are the necessary requirements and what branch of government is doin this stuff?

Thanks

Titles can be secured at the local Register of Deeds. AFAIK, Titles are the only proof of ownership of land/real property.

afaik you need to check first the lot if it has a title from the register of deeds. if no title was given to that parcel of land, you could try to register using the old torrens system. Try to consult a lawyer din

My interpretation on this would be that the parcel of land is mortgaged or used as a collateral. Check the registry of deeds. malamang may title yan na namisplaced or nasunog. verify also with the bank. baka napalitan na yun ownership kung inilit ng bangko. kung naka-mortgage pa rin yan malamang may nakalagay na encumbered yun title.

what i know about torrens system is yun old titles yata or pre war titles. im not sure about the procedures. usually eto yun mga ancestral lands na namana sa ninuno. there was a time na inayos ang titling system ng lupa. better consult a lawyer para mas maayos na interpretation.
