WHO INHERITS? HOW TO CLAIM? THE LAW HAS THE ANSWERS. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. ⚖️

Under the Civil Code, the law clearly defines who qualifies as a compulsory heir — legitimate children, surviving spouse, illegitimate children, and parents — along with their guaranteed shares. Whether there is a will or not, succession follows established rules: who inherits, in what order, and how claims must be properly filed and proven.

Inheritance does not automatically transfer into your name upon passing. The estate must be settled, debts addressed, and shares legally partitioned. Know your rights as an heir, understand the proper procedure to claim, and ensure everything is documented correctly — because when it comes to family property, the law sets a clear path.
