Annotated Birth Certificate
Derived (in layman’s term) from the Annotated Birth Certificate, this certificate is issued by the Local Civil Registrar if the concern is one’s existence. It is obtained from the place of birth by the Municipal/City Civil Registrar. The PSA manages with answering the queries about the previous and present records of vital events, and the requisites that need to be satisfied to effect the amendments or corrections of the entries in the Civil Registry documents. This authority is also in charge of receiving and preparing the necessary document requests and also ensure the adherence to archival standards, as set by pertinent legislations, in the safekeeping and retrieval of every record. In addition, the Registrars themselves, in the registration area, provide assistance to the public, particularly in the applications for the issuance of these PSA registered papers.
In the Philippines, it is not uncommon to encounter issues and complications on property and inheritance. However, individuals who experience the following scenarios have the law on their side. The key is to “Know the Law so as to know how to assert or defend your rights”. An annotated birth certificate includes additional notes or remarks that provide essential information about amendments or corrections made to the original document.
Requirements for Transfer of Land Title
As discussed earlier, there are two prerequisites for an owner to be able to validly dispose of his land or any part thereof: (1) he must be the owner with Torrens title on the land he wishes to sell; and (2) he must be legally capacitated to sell. These requirements must be present regardless of one’s status as a Filipino citizen or an NPC. Being the only one holding a title is not a problem where an owner has several children; as common in local custom, the children just gather together at the Capitol to divide the area equally amongst themselves (thus, the passage of land-melding titles in response thereto in some localities). However, the requirement for legal capacity to sell requires further discussion as it is frequently the cause of yet another impasse involving immovable assets such as land. Understanding the requirements for transfer of land title is crucial for ensuring a smooth and legal process when buying or inheriting property.
BIR Requirements for Transfer of Land Title
It is a BIR Certificate authorizing the Land Title Registrar to annotate the Deed of Sale/Transfer of the land title in favor of the buyer. This certificate is one of the required documents that the buyer/administrator/executor must present before the Register of Deeds for the registration and transfer of land title, in order for the Register of Deeds to proceed with the processing of the Transfer Certificate of Title. You don’t need to obtain this certificate if the property is transferred via extrajudicial settlement or if the property is transferred via judicial proceedings other than sale. Processes in obtaining Estate Clearance from the BIR, you might also want to check out these basic BIR forms and BIR regulations.
