Road Right of Way in Philippines!!!

[Tish]

There is always right of way when you bought property that are far off the main road. So what kind of problem are you having? Did you buy the property without a written rules on right of way? Or did the person included your right of way to a property being sold?

*Purchased 500 sqm 2 years ago with an agreement to the land owner that if I pay for all expenses i.e. capital gains tax, transfer of title etc. my road right of way of 4meters wide be provided.

*Owner died last year without leaving a will, so the wife and 7 children now wants me to pay for the road right of way!!! Stating that my agreement was between their father and myself and not to the heirs!!!

*Now I feel like I'm being forced into a corner into paying the road right of way!

check your document if you had an agreement to the right of way to the owner, its not good if just only verbal agreement you need a written document stating that you have a right of way of that land...and or maybe that people knows it but bcoz you are foreigner there and they need a money bocz of hard life there that why they doing that to you,go to your solicitor and sort it out.anyway what parts of philippines you are now
