Stop Guessing.
Start Owning.

Before you book a flight, hire a lawyer, or promise anything to your relatives—get the facts. We verify the real status of your family land in the Philippines for a flat fee.

The Problem

Lola said we have land in the province...

The risks of flying blind are expensive:

But do you really know the status of that land today?

Inheriting property in the Philippines is rarely straightforward. Families often rely on decades-old stories, faded photocopies, or the word of a relative back home.

The "Double Sale"

The land might have been sold years ago without your knowledge.

Tax Nightmares

Unpaid "Amilyar" (Real Property Tax) accumulates huge penalties. The local government may have already auctioned it off.

Hidden Liens

Is there a mortgage, a lawsuit (Lis Pendens), or an adverse claim annotated on the back of the title?

Squatters

Is the land actually vacant, or is there an unauthorized structure on it?

Don't spend thousands on legal fees or travel costs until you know exactly what you are dealing with.

The Solution

Introducing the Land Back Home
"Title Scout" Report

Think of this as a "Carfax" for your Philippine property.

We deploy our network of liaison officers to physically visit the Registry of Deeds (RD) and the City Assessor’s Office where your property is located. We don't guess; we pull the official records.

For a one-time fee of $299, we provide:

Certified True Copy (CTC) of Title

Direct from the Registry of Deeds. We verify if the title is "Clean," "Encumbered," or "Cancelled."

Tax Status Clearance

A detailed breakdown of the last year taxes were paid and the exact amount of arrears (including penalties) needed to update it.

The "Red Flag" Audit

Our team reviews the annotations for Section 4 Rule 74 (heir liabilities), mortgages, or pending court cases.

Vicinity Check (Optional Add-on $50)

A basic verification if the lot is occupied or vacant (based on Assessor records and neighborhood inquiry).

How It Works

1

You Submit the Details

Upload whatever you have—an old photo of the title, a tax declaration, or just the Lot Number and Location.

2

We Deploy

Our team in the Philippines travels to the specific government agency (Registry of Deeds & Assessor).

Total Estimated Gov't Fees: ~8-9% of the Property's Zonal Value.

Faq

Answers to the Questions Every Overseas Filipino Asks.

From missing land titles to inheritance concerns and legal processes, we simplify the complicated so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Can't I just ask my cousin to do this?

You could, but do they know what to look for? Are they willing to stand in line for 6 hours at the RD? Will they tell you the bad news if they are the ones living on the land? We provide an unbiased, third-party audit.

What if you can't find the title?

If the Registry of Deeds has no record of the title (e.g., it was destroyed in a fire or lost), we will issue a "Certification of No Record" or "Loss." This is the critical first document you need to file a petition in court for Reconstitution.

Does this transfer the land to me?

No. This is an investigation service. Once we know the status, we can quote you for the actual Extrajudicial Settlement and Transfer service.
