INHERITANCE - to get or not to get?

[iggypop]

^ ayan sis aquacharly may offer ka na ha? if you need naman extras na crying ladies, magaling ako umiyak LOL! seriously sis, i wish you and your family well...

[winky]

sis aqua, your thread kept me up all night. i learned a lot from this. god bless you always and continue to amuse us all with your stories.

[kaiz]

hay, natapos ko din to basahin.. sa wakas. learned a lot and yes, was so amused with your stories 
ano na update sis aquacharly?

[aquacharly]

THANK YOU ALL for your prayers, and i am glad some of you find amusement out of this all.. see, there is good in disasters din eh.  LOL

Thank you for the offers to write the script, to star in the film.  Baka magkatotoo   1 of my BFFs before New Year said she is putting together a class for those who want to learn how to make films, as in short movies with computers.... eh sabi ni Achi... hwag mo kong tignan ng ganyan.  Even my favorite niece... pls tita, I can't star in low budget productions.  (Aba, ilusyonada!  but I love her to bits pa rin)   
So tinignan ko my favorite driver.. aha!  Sabi ko my 1st film title will be ... Ang Pagkasagasa Kay Julio     hehe       Ma'am ginawa mo nga akong artista papatayin mo naman ako.   Of course, ano ka, sineswerte?  Kung hindi kita patayin on film, patayin ka nang audience!   

WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Ayon, everybody is busy spending what cash got distributed.
PERO eto ha .. dahan dahan dahan lumalabas ang ibang properties.
And as usual, tinatapon ni Mother sa akin how to solve it.  Ano?  Babalik ka sa BIR!  Ganon yun.  hay buhay. sinabi ko na nga noon pa,  you can postpone death, but you cannot postpone the BIR kurakot.

Yes, we are talking.
Si Mother ingat na ingat na ingat when bringing up something with me.
If anything needs to be signed, or decided on, it falls on my lap... lahat will not move with out whatever going through me.  Sometimes, iniisip ko.. ano kaya isahan ko lahat ito?  Coz they sign without reading when they see my signature!  tadah!  Ang Pangugurakot ni AquaCharly....  another film!  LOL

Some properties in the probinsya, we are getting back from the kabit who with the now dead brother,  did stuff to have such titled in their names and the bastardos..

Sabi ni mother -- there!  she (si Kabit) is "selling" back to you all this, that and so properties.  So hwag na kayo magalit sa kanya (coz nobody wants to talk to her, although noong Xmas we all sent her gifts.   Schizo nga kami talaga)

Ano? Mama!  What! I am supposed to roll over and be grateful she is giving back what is not hers in the 1st place?  Ano?  Sumaya ako kasi she says:  o eto na ang baboy,.. do what you want with it, lechon mo...  WHEN! Hello?!  Teka kahit isang utot nang baboy na yan eh wala syang claim?  My driver was laughing, coz mom was in my car then.. kamuntik na kaming makabundol.  hay buhay.

I think we have a detente with our mother now kasi  kasi  kasi ... eto na parang langaw na nagsibalikan mga Legal Wives!   hahahaha   talaga naman sabi eh honey catches more bees than vinegar.  Ang version ko:  Money catches more honey bees than just honey.
Gigil na gigil ang mother ko when I told my daughter in front of her ... o, sweetiepink!  mag practice ka na how to march down the aisle... you gotta be the best best best flower girl kasi sangkaterban kayong flowergirl pag your titos marry their 1st wives again.  Ang tawag natin my dear friends here sa ganyang film eh:  COME HOME, E.T.      LOL .

Eto pa, may bulbol gang kami di ba?
Aba aba aba ... mukhang nagmamadali mag join the club men hesitate to join ang 2ng bastardo.  Pareho in school, yung 1 eh forever a freshman nga.  Teka, baka butchery na nga lang course kinukuha, lahat ng iba sarado na. 
My mom gets red in the face when I tell her ... kelan ka mamanhikan?   O round 2 mo of  3 or 5 carat engagement rings.  Aba eh,... ngayon lang namin narinig my mom say "shet"  LOL  Ma, sh1t hindi shet ika ko.

IMO,  malayo pa kami from a final or almost final settlement.
Basta I told my mom ... if you want us to fight again, pwes .. divide unequally. 
the other week I hit the ceiling when pinapipirma ako nang another agreement wherein sa bandang dulo eh nakalagay the illegitimates have equal share with us siblings.  Teka, ha.. apo yan, anak kami. 
Ma!  READ READ READ hindi basta binigay for you for all to sign!
Pinatarayan ko si kabit in the probinsya kay Achi.

Kaya to all, my advice is ... spend it all!  Basta pag aralin mo, bigyan mo pantay pantay ang lahat ng anak mo whatever maluwag sa yo... kahit na ba isang pisong duling... basta pareho pareho each gets a duling... then spend it all.  Leaving money and assets unequally divided or cannot be divided will defeat your purpose of raising a family that will be there for each other when you are no longer around.

Atchaka, eto pa... matindi ang undercurrent na labanan ng brothers.  Kasi nga, among themselves before eh they had an informal agreement which properties go to whom.. eh ngayon tadah!  kadaming asungot na property claimants -- kaming mga sisters na taken for granted nila noon eh zero or hopia ... so now, nagbabawian sila sa agreements nila.  Kasi most properties now, up for division among us.

Si mother... hay naku, will leave it daw all (her share of all) to her sons.  Ganoon pa rin.  Sabi ko ... make sure you get a good lawyer parang Survivorship ang nasa documents mo.  Pero, taasan mo na rin your insurance kasi doing that gives your co-owners or co-accounts The Motive.   Tandaan mo, The Return of the E.T.s  (lahat kasi nang legal DILs nya eh naging mortal enemy nya.)  LOL  Sabi ni Old Yaya -- na unsettle daw si mother sa sinabi kong ganoon.   hay buhay.   

Spend it all!  Do not bring your family to where we found ourselves.   

God bless all.

Aquacharly, the BIR has a new project called Project R.I.P. for the enhancement of estate tax collections.  It may be posted already in the BIR's website - Revenue Memorandum Order No. 10-2010.  I just thought that you should know.   For future reference.

[iggypop]

aquacharly thanks for the update, i enjoyed reading your kwentos hope all will be well

[cati]

yup so entertaining and 'educational' ang mga pangyayari

[ysa.belle]

to sis aquacharly,

thanks for all the kwentos. i really learned a lot from this thread. i read some of your posts and they are either making me laugh, learning more and sometimes even both.

hope things turn out great.

[aquacharly]

Thank you, MAROSE.   And I am glad some of you are still amused.. 

Where are we now?   Some sibling relationships have improved, some have fone bad.      All I can say is:  money sure changes some people.  hehe

Our mother watches what she says nowadays.  But I cannot get my guard down .. I still watch for what is behind her words, coz well... we haven't fully settled amongst ourselves.. she keeps on hemming and hawing on some properties.   

This is funny.  The other night, we had a big party at EDSA Shang for a balikbayan relative.    Most of us were there with our mother.  When it came time to settle the bill.. my husband noticed that my sisters and I were huddling over the bill.  He asked loudly:  Do you need a lawyer to settle among yourselves?  shucks.. my Achi said:  ang sutil mo talaga ha!  haha but we were all laughing.  Mom went deadma.

The way I see it nagka truce period lang.  Eventually, somebody dissatisfied will bring up the issue of final distribution.   Eto nanaman kami, round 3.  hay buhay.

[ysa.belle]

Hay. Natapos rin. Sis Aquacharly, thank you for the kwentos. I've learned a lot from your entries. They even make me laugh (sana wag kang magalit  )

Sana matapos na lahat ng issues ninyo regarding dito and I hope things would turn out great.

[aquacharly]

Hay naku YSA BELLE .. bago ka palang kasi dito.. everyone knows I like to make people laugh.. at times, it is the silver lining behind the problems of life... that people learn from it, or get amused by it.  haha    Kung minsan, nababato din ako for my opinions.. now, that makes me laugh. 

Welcome to this forum YSA BELLE...  we look forward to meeting up with you in the various threads.   God bless.

[Vera]

Gosh ang haba ng kwento aquacharly but I enjoyed reading everything. Hope you and your family stay in good terms.

[ms.G]

nice read. di ko talaga iniwan ang thread from page 1 up to the last.

aquacharly, you're one heck of a storyteller. i am a fan.

[jaded1025]

Any updates aquacharly? Napaisip tuloy ako kung kanino nakapangalan mga assets namin, seaman pa naman dad ko.

Goodluck sis!

[betty]

i have a question:

 there is a widow with kids who got married again then bore children to the new husband, they have a business.....now does the widow's children have any right to the properties and earning of the business even if they do not work for them or for inheritance sake?

If these are in your dad's and your mom's names...  all you have to worry about is the inheritance tax  (knock on wood).   Parents are really hesitant or negligent about putting properties in the names of their kids, specially if these are single young adults.

Our status?  hay naku, hindi pa kami tapos sa inventory, sa partihan.  Kasuya na nga eh.  Draining .  I think our mom is banking on our eventually throwing in the towel out of exasperation.

The children, even if they did not work for the business... acquire ownership rights equivalent to their share of their mother's estate.   
      Do not confuse employment with ownership.
      And owner earns from his investment in a business via profits/dividends; and does not need to be employed by the business.

 

[betty]

i couldnt find any other term to use eh hehe

so, those children from previous marriage have right to inheritance from all the acquired properties etc? or from their mother's share only, meaning 50% of what the mother gets?

[zaralicious]

Wow! Sis Aquacharly, your posts almost made up the entire thread, had this been a book, you've already written a short novel! But, your story is very amusing, and very enlightening. Full of humor pero sensible talaga. Kakaiba ang family background mo! I guess, it's true what they say, more money, more problem. and as in your family's case, you all have money, but you're still fighting about money. hehe :-) pero what you did was right. you are all children of your parents and you have all the right to claim what is legally and rightfully yours. Had I been in the same situation as yours, I would fight for it too! Fair and square dapat ika nga. I don't care if my siblings would have less than of what they expected to or what's planned for them to have. It's about time they realize na lahat kayo sa isang tao lang nanggaling at sa isang puerta lang dumaan (excuse me for the term, nakakahawa yun sa bul2. LOL!) kaya dapat pantay-pantay sa hati. besides, i think kayong mga babae ang mas deserving bigyan dahil for sure mas may mapuntahan ang manahin nyo. :-D

Kalokers si mamita, I can't believe how she could tolerate "kabits" when your dad also had a mistress. I mean, kung ako siguro, I would have treated them the same way, I would treat my husband's mistress! hehe! At sana, kung meron favoritism sa anak, sana wala ng favoritism sa mga apo...

Your story and your being strong through all of this is very inspiring. Hope all will be well. it's been a year since you started this thread ata (tama ba ako? o nahihilo na ako sa antok?) and i'm glad that this headache of yours made a progress... God bless sis!

[zaralicious]

@sis betty - did you mean to ask if the widow's children from the first husband would also have a share in the inheritance? I think it would depend kung sino ang mauna between the widow and the 2nd husband.

I think kung mauna si 2nd husband, of course, ang succession would be between the legitimate children and widow lang. 50% sa children, 50% sa widow. wala makuha yun children from the first hub.

If si widow naman ang mauna, that's the only time na may ma-inherit yun children. 50% kay 2nd husband, 25% dun sa children nila, then 25% dun sa children from the first husband.
