ASSESSMENT

CASE START

You may be allowed to do Administrative Reconstitution after a natural disaster, but generally replacing a <a href="https://lawyerphilippines.org/how-to-reconstitute-a-philippine-land-title/">lost or destroyed title</a> requires filing a court case. Proof of ownership and witness testimony will be needed and the case is typically the only way to obtain new title.

Court Cases Required to Replace  Missing Land Titles

A&nbsp;<a href="https://lawyerphilippines.org/reissue-recon/">Reissuance of Title</a>&nbsp;court case is filed&nbsp;only when a title is irretrievably lost and not when a relative refuses to hand over. In such cases, try to negotiate first. If it fails, consult a lawyer to explore legal options or determine if filing is necessary.

New title can be cancelled if old title is presented

Although the courts have been trying to digitize, many processes remain manual. This often slows down cases and requires physical court visits. Gathering evidence from courts or government agencies can also involve significant legwork and coordination.
