Title Source: Supreme Court: Amendment to Friar Lands Act: Certificate Inheritance

Law: Act No. 2945

Decision Date: Feb 16, 1921

Act No. 2945 amends the Friar Lands Act to ensure that the ownership rights of a deceased certificate holder in the Philippines pass on to their legal heirs, and requires the government to issue a deed to the inheritors upon compliance with all requirements.

Succession Upon Death of Certificate Holder

If the holder of a certificate dies before the Government executes a deed to any purchaser, the holder's interest descends to heirs.
The deed shall be issued to the lawful heirs as determined by Philippine laws on succession.
Such issuance is conditional upon proof that all requirements of the certificate have been fulfilled.

Rights of Purchasers Before Compliance

If the certificate holder sold his interest before fulfilling all certificate conditions, the purchaser acquires the same rights as the original holder.
The purchaser must present the assignment to the Chief of the Bureau of Public Lands for registration to validate these rights.

Effectivity of the Amendment

The Act takes effect immediately upon approval on February 16, 1921.
