the law is clear... if one of the spouse dies paghahatian ng heirs ang properties n naiwan niya.... im not a lawyer pero yan natutunan ko dati s estate tax. kahit anong gigil ng legal family s illegitimate child(ren) the law says may karapatan sila sa estate n naiwan.
aren't we being selfish?
i think human nature n yan... wala tayong pakialam sa iba, we will do everything to protect our own
im also a legal wife, no children yet, pero ngayon p lang nagiisip ko na on how to protect my future kids in case maiwan ko sila ng medyo maaga... i trust my husband but then again hindi ko hawak ang panahon, pano kung magkaron siya ng "sideline" pano ko pangangalagaan ang interest ng mga anak ko, these ang just a few things n hindi nagpapatulog sakin.
now i watched a documentary in investigation discovery, im not sure if pwede sya sa pinas but the patriach put all the money in a trust and nag stipulate siya that no illegitimate heirs of his or his heirs will ever benefit from the trust. nagkaron p ng demandahan kasi diba all children whether legitimate or not should inherit... but in the end the stipulation on the trust withstand. ang nakuhang share ng illegitimate ay kung ano lang ang hindi nalagay s trust which is just a fraction of the total estate value.
now i want to make things clear, hindi ako against sa mga batang ipinanganak out of wedlock, wala silang kasalanan, hindi sila kasama sa kung ano pa man ang ginawa ng parents nila but im talking as a woman n balang araw magkakaron ng mga anak and as i said i will do everything to protect their interest.
as im reading my post parang masyado yatang conflicting ang sinulat ko.
