STEP 1: Fill out BIR Form 1904 (Application for


Registration). All parties that transact with the BIR should
haveavalidTaxIdentificationNumber(TIN).Normally,Form
1904 is used to verify the TIN of the seller as well as the
buyer. But in payment of estate taxes, the estate of the
deceased will have to have a separate TIN from the seller
heirs.
In filling out Form 1904, here is what to do: (a) on the
Taxpayer Type, mark with an X the box indicating One
Time Taxpayer (b) on Classification, mark with an X the
boxindicatingNonindividualand(c)onSex,markwithan
Xtheappropriateboxindicatinggenderofthedeceased.
Next, write ESTATE OF [THE DECEASED PERSONS NAME]
in the space provided for the Taxpayers Name. On the Civil
Status, mark with an X the appropriate box indicating civil
statusofthedeceased.OntheDateofBirth,writethedateof
death of the decedent as it appears in the Certificate of
Death.
WritetheLocalAddressofthedecedentinthespaceprovided
for.TakenotethattheLocalAddressofthedecedentshould
betheoneindicatedinthedeathcertificate.
If the person dies abroad and has no residence in the
PhilippinesfillouttheForeignAddressbywritingtheaddress
indicatedinthedeathcertificate.Insuchacase,thefilingof
the Estate Tax Return should be made at the BIR Revenue
DistrictOffice(RDO)No.39(SouthQuezonCity).
Finally,putanXontheboxindicatingTransferofProperties
by Succession (Death) and on Tax Types mark an X the
boxindicatingEstateTax.Remembertoindicatethenameof
the Taxpayer/Authorized Agent and sign the same. It is
important to attach a photocopy of the certified copy of the
CertificateofDeathtoForm1904.
STEP 2: Prepare the mandatory documentary
requirements to be submitted to the BIR for the
settlement of estate of a deceased individual. You can
getacopyoftheChecklistofDocumentaryRequirements by

STEP 3: Prepare BIR Form 1801 (Estate Tax Return).


Fill up the name and the TIN of the Estate on the spaces
provided in Form 1801. The ONETT Officer of the Day will
assist you in filling out the rest of the form based on the
computation he/she has made based on the review of the
documentspresented.However,iftheestateofthedeceased
is more than P3 million then it would be wise to consult a
certifiedpublicaccounttodeterminetheinitialcomputationof
thetaxableestate.
STEP 4: Pay the estate tax as computed. You can pay
the estate tax with an Authorized Agent Bank (AAB) of the
RDO having jurisdiction over the place of residence of the
decedentatthetimeofhis/herdeath.
Cash is best to settle the estate tax. But if the tax due is a
large amount and security would be a problem for the one
payingitthenthesamecanbepaidbymeansofaManagers
orCashiersCheck.
IfpaymentismadethroughaManagersorCashiersCheck,
the following should be written as payee: [BANK, BRANCH]
FAO BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE IFO [TAXPAYERS
NAME] [TIN OF TAXPAYER]. However, if you will pay the
estate tax using a AAB that is a government financial
institution like Landbank of the Philippines, then the payee
maysimplybeBUREAUOFINTERNALREVENUE.
STEP 5: Submit all documentary requirements and
proof of payment to the RDO having jurisdiction over
theplaceofresidenceofthedecedent.Uponsubmission
oftherequirementsandproofofpayment,theONETTOne

barangay certificate should be presented to certify that the
decedent is a bona fide resident of the barangay where the
family home is located, if the deduction of P1 million for the

the name of the decedent in order for the deduction to be
claimed.

Hi Jon,
In your case, the parties who want to sell the property may buyout the share of the parties who do not want to sell. Or it can be
the other way around, those who do not want to sell the
property may buy-out the share of the parties who want to sell
the property.
Best of luck.

Hi atty.,
We want to acquire a property but my concern is that the title was
named in a married couple but the wife is already 25 years deceased.
They didnt update it at the bir. They also had 2 son in a legal age, but
the one already left them and wasnt able to visit them in a long time. We
are planning to mortgage it with the bank but how can we proceed to
buy the property without incurring any problem with the title and to
their children? Thanks much.

Hi Val,
You have to insist with the seller that they settle the estate of the
deceased wife. This means that estate taxes should be paid with
the BIR before any sale can be nalized. If the sellers have the
capacity to pay the estate taxes then they should do it
immediately. If not, you can negotiate to advance the payment of
the estate tax but this will be deducted to the total purchase
price of the sale of the property.
The best scenario for you is to consult a professional (a lawyer or
broker who has great experience in crafting such deals) and
show him/her all pertinent and relevant documents so that you
will receive proper guidance and valuable pieces of advice as
regards your situations. A consultation with the professional may
save you a lot of heartaches and headaches in the future.
Best of luck,
Atty. Jojo

Would like to know if this also applies to loyola memorial lots and their
other contracts such as Interment/Memorial Services and also to shares
of stocks. My father died in 2004 but it was only in July 2014 that my
siblings and I were able to make an extrajudicial settlement on my
fathers memorial lot and shares of stocks (of little value though since
they are only mining and drilling stocks). Would it still be advisable to
pursue the process? The Extra-Judicial settlement and SPA documents
though were already authenticated by the Philippine Consulates in
Canada. Was just wondering on the next step to take.

Reply

realttorney on May 13, 2015 at 21:03


Hi Rosemarie,
Yes, an extrajudicial settlement of estate is necessary to transfer
ownership of memorial lots and shares of stocks, because they
are forms of real and personal properties, respectively.

Would it still be advisable to pursue the process despite the fact


that the value of stocks are very minimal? It depends on how you
value (not in peso terms) the properties left by your late father.
You can ignore it and somehow the corporations holding the
stocks and the lots will nd a way to dispose of it or take it back
or give to government.
Pursuing it entails payment of estate taxes, transfer costs and
other expenses. You are in the best position to do the
computation as to how much will be spent for taxes and
expenses, in all. But, I can tell you that you have taken several
steps towards settlement of the estate by having the documents
authenticated by the our Consulates in Canada.
The next step to take is to follow the things outlined in the
article. Go back to the article and download the list of
documentary requirements needed. I apologize that the same
was not a live link. Prepare the documents and follow the steps.
Or you can hire a professional to do it for you.
Good luck.

Sir I just want to askwe bought a parcel of land to a person but died
recently giving only the Deed of absolute sale as she kept on promising
the land title will be subdivided among the buyers of a big property.
The Sole heir then denies the responsibility of conveying out bought
property and denies responsibilities of paying the survey, approval of
surveys, and having the title be partitions. We led Civil case against her
and also criminal case due to Falsifying the signature of her deceased
mom on the approved plan that they applied (not including our land on
the plan surveyed plan though land was paid almost 10 years already)

Sir, is it cheaper (in terms of transfer taxes and registration fees) to do:
(a) a single transaction Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate with Absolute
Sale where the title is transferred from decedent directly to buyers; or
(b) two separate transactions Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate to
transfer title from decedent to heirs, and then Deed of Absolute Sale to
transfer from heirs to buyers?

Reply

realttorney on May 13, 2015 at 20:47


Hi Claribel,
Thank you for your email. Whether you do option A or B, the BIR
will always require the payment of estate tax (for the settlement
of the estate) rst. Thereafter, BIR will require the payment of
capital gains and documentary stamp tax (for the sale). The
number of document that is made does not control what tax
liability will be imposed.
Each option has its own pros and cons. So ask your lawyer which
is best for your situation.
Warm regards,
Atty. Jojo

Hi Atty. Jojo
I would like to consult this situation. I am a tenant and paying my
monthly rent to a bank who administers the collection of my rent. Now
the bank is already close and no notice is deliverd on where should we
continue paying. Then decades past a heir claiming that he has the
rights over property were we living, together with s.p.a. of his sister and
brothers authorizes him to negotiate with us. He also have an
unnotarized extrajuducial settlement. My question is, this an enough
proof that should pay our monthy rent to him or should we ask for a
endorsement letter from pdic(since the bank on we have contract as
leasee is closed)? Also the extra judicial settlement is just this year but
the deceased is already more than a decade. I want to validate if the
settlement is valid as I read that this settlement must be done in longest
is 6months after the death of the owner. Im want to know these process
and be at the right path beacause I want to buy this property.
Any advise on where to go is highly appreciated thanks for reading more
power Atty.

Hi Christian,
The rst thing you have to do is to verify with the Registry of

Deeds who is the registered owner of the property as indicated


in the land title covering the house you are renting. Also visit the
Assessors Oce where the property is located and get a copy of
the tax declaration of the property you are renting and compare
it with the land title to see if the registered owner indicated in
both documents are one and the same.
If the registered owner is still the bank that was closed by PDIC
then verify with PDIC if the property has been sold to the person
(or his/her heirs) who is claiming ownership at the house and lot.
It is a long and tedious process if you will want to purchase the
property yourself. For this you have to personally consult a
professional and show him/her the documents that I have
enumerated above so that proper advice can be given to you.
There are certain peculiarities that may arise based on the
documents that you will gather that cannot be touched upon in
this reply and is best shown to an experienced professional of
your choice.
Good luck.

Hi Atty Jojo
Thank you for having this blog it is really helpful. I have the following
questions:
1. How to notify death to bir? is it thru letter or the application for
registration for the TIN of the estate suce?
2. If the time of death is Jan 6 2015 and notication and ling will be
done only this middle of june. Will it already incur penalties and interest
already?
3. Does the real/personal properties only includes those under the
deceased name and/or conjugal prop (where both are named) and not
include those under the surviving spouse name?
Will wait for your response. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Atty Jojo,
My dad died April 2 9f this year and left me and my sis a will bestowing
us house and lot and about 9 parcels of land to be divided equally. We
know we have to pay estate tax but we cant aord the full payment. My
dad died here in US and I am also a US citizen already.Where do we have
to apply for the estate tax payment? There is also an interested buyer of
one of the parcels can we settle the estate tax after sale is made? And by
the way the titles of the properties are in our grandmothers name still
not my dads and there is no other heirs except me and my sis. Thank
you Atty. Jojo in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Amy,
Thanks for the email. Since your Dad died in the US, the ling of
the estate tax return should be in RDO No. 39, Quezon City.
You have to settle and pay the estate tax (for all 9 parcels) before
you can legally sell the property to any buyer. But since the
properties are in the name of your grandmother then the estate
of your grandmother must be settled rst before settling the
estate of your father.
Seek professional assistance for your case as this is a
complicated transaction. Good luck.

Hi Ms. Andrea,
Thank you for the question.
If your father is in Canada, then he will just have to appoint an
Attorney-in-fact to represent him in the settlement of the estate.
He will have to execute a Special Power of Attorney for this
purpose. The attorney-in-fact should be a trusted relative of you
father.
For this transaction, I suggest you seek professional assistance
from an experienced lawyer who can guide you through the
process since you are abroad. Good luck!

partially then you will incur penalties from the BIR.

Hi Jennifer,
You need to settle the estate of the person whose name appears

cannot transfer the title in your name without rst settling the
estate of the deceased individual.
Please consult an experience professional to help you the entire
process. Good luck.

owner) died without last will and testament. Please advice me of the

the requirements or papers needed.

Hi Louie,
You have to settle the estate of the registered owner who
already passed away. The wife and the 11 children should
execute an Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate and have it
processed by the BIR. Read through the other articles I have
written and posted in the website about the settlement of estate.
AFter the settlement of estate, the BIR will issue an eCAR which
you will use as additional documentation for the processing of
the sale of the parcel of land. As always, I advise that you seek
assistance from an experienced professional as you undergo this
somewhat complicated process.
Good luck,
