Hi ate Tish sorry to hear about it
Is this referring to Estate tax? from Phil.Gov. BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) means Estate Tax is a tax on the right of the deceased person to transmit his/her estate to his/her lawful heirs and beneficiaries at the time of death and on certain transfers which are made by law as equivalent to testamentary disposition.
And this is the link of Estate Tax law

I hope you will sort it out soon
