wildswans

good evening wildswans,

1st question: yes. if the children are at least 21 years old or above.

2nd question: yes. as long as she is legally married to the deceased member.

3rd question: no. if the surviving spouse is still alive. (case scenario) if the surviving spouse is deceased, the children may file for the death benefit of the deceased member but still subject for evaluation.

 

thank you.

Thank you sir deinyttym.

please proceed to the nearest sss branch within your are of residence and kindly accomplish a sss funeral and death benefit form.

 

for the funeral requirements, please submit the official receipt from the funeral parlor and photocopy of the certified thru copy of death certificate. present original for authentication.

Sir, I have some questions regarding death benefit. 1st, can the surviving spouse alone without involving the children file for the death benefit of her husband? 2nd, can the surviving spouse received the death benefit even if she's not a Filipino citizen? 3rd, can the children of the deceased file for death benefit of their deceased father even if they are above 21 years old BUT NOT married yet?

There's nothing wrong of telling the girl you like her from the very start. It is actually beneficial on your part because she knows your intentions first hand and she can end it there if she doesn't like you. If I really like a girl I'd ask her "kung pwede ko sya ligawan" so she knows my intention and she can refuse or turn me down from the beginning if she's not interested. The mere fact that she still goes out with you despite confessing your feelings show she likes something about you. Just keep it up bro and you'll do fine. However, I find that "every other week" dates of yours very unusual. I think you need to investigate further the reason why she can only go out with you twice in a month. What is she doing on her free time? Is she seeing anyone else than you?

Thanks. That's what I don't understand and that's what driving me nuts right now, on why she decided to go out with me every other week. I do not know if she is seeing someone other than me. Even if she were I don't have the right to complain as I understand she can entertain as many suitors as she want to. But, if I were to review the timeline, everything changed AFTER I confessed. I noticed that she turn somewhat cold towards me after. The following week AFTER confessing, it was a Wednesday and she told me she was talking to her BFF online for 3 hours and after that she became cold and decline my invitation to go out the following day. Then I saw the FB wall conversation since we are friends in FB. So for me, these changes happened after I confessed. Coincidence or not then I don't know anymore.

Yes, it's kinda positive that she still goes out with me after confessing and even told me that gusto ako makilala ng mom niya. So if she's not seeing anyone for the moment, then all I could think of is, baka nabilisan siya sa pagtatapat ko kaya she decided to see me twice a month to slow things down because, take note, wala pa siyang feelings sa akin OR may nag advice sa kanya not to see me every week coz it might send the wrong signal OR kung minamalas then she's entertaining someone also. Damn...if I could turn back time. Another issue would be the age gap, it could be possible that SHE ALONE doesn't mind the age gap but I guess she's also worried what other people might say. It is possible that nakwento niya ako sa mga colleagues niya because she introduced me to them already and she even told me na nakwento niya ako sa pinsan niya and GF ng pinsan niya then there's the two BFFs kaya I'm sure some way or another ay nagulat silang lahat sa age gap, that is kung napagusapan. Minsan nga iniisip ko kausapin siya regarding our age gap since I doubt she will bring it up to me because she would think baka maoffend ako. I just hope and pray na maliwanagan ako soon and much better kung dumalas ulit labas namin. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Mali nga nagawa ako at pinagsisisihan ko talaga sobra. Dahil lang sa pagtatapat na wala naman sa plano ay parang kagaya ng pag chachansing sa kanya yung hatol. I know hindi pa end of the world because she still talks to me and we still go out kaya lang nanghihinayang ako kasi imbes na once a week pa rin labas namin ay nagiging once in two weeks na. Imbes na more chances to see her ay nabawasan tuloy kaya can't help na magalala at maparanoid minsan e. i keep hoping na sana manumbalik ulit yung once a week namin pero di ko lam when.

Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit rin niya binawasan pagkikita namin dahil sa pagtatapat ko pero ang logical reason na naiisip ko ay, siguro nabibilisan siya sa nangyari kaya niya binawasan yung pagkikita OR siguro iniisip niya baka magbigay ng wrong signal sa akin kung every week kaming nagkikita. Other than that hindi ko na alam. Sorry guys for analyzing too much pero gusto ko kasi manumbalik muli yung dati e and i dont know what i should do. Medyo lay low nga ako ngaun sa mga sweet nothings na messages e.

Hi guys, I like this girl very much and I don't know if I should be worried about what's happening right now but I am...very much.

I met this girl and was attracted by her simple beauty so I mustered the guts to get her number. We texted every day since then but the only problem is, until now, it took her so long to reply at least an hour pero ngayon mga 30mins or less. Ok naman mga replies niya because she tell stories, she shares what happened to her at work, and etc and she also ask about me so hinayaan ko nalang yung matagal niyang pag reply. I don't expect any text from her at work because she's busy but even when she's home ay matagal talaga magreply. By the way, we have a 16year age gap. She's in her early 20s.

Anyway, we texted for a month until I ask her out. She said yes but had to postpone several times until she told me "parang nabigla ako, hindi pa tayo magkakilala ay aalis na tayo". Eventually, she went out with me and she said she had a wonderful time at nagenjoy daw siya sa mga ginawa namin. I never thought I'd see her again because, she asked for my age and she thought I was just in my early 30s. Fortunately, I did see her again and we see each other once a week.

During the course of one month texting and barely a month of going out for a total of barely 2 months, nasasabi ko na sa kanya sa text that I care about her, that she's special, that she's beautiful to me, sweet nothing messages (not forwarded quotes) and I made her a poem pa which she like. On our 3rd date, I even told her, "kaya ko naman humarap rin sa magulang mo if needed dahil seryoso naman ako sa intentions ko at malinis. seryoso talaga ako sayo". So I was assuming that she knows that I really like her.

Now, during our 4th date, I have no intentions about telling her how I really feel about her kaya lang with the conversation that we were having, napunta ako dun and I told her, "alam mo, naattract talaga ako sa beauty mo sa umpisa pa lang pero di lang sa beauty mo kundi there's something else about u. Kasi kung dahil sa mere beauty lang I wouldn't have gotten your number coz I'd treat it as a ramdon beauty i see everyday. kaya lang there's something about u na di ko maexplain. Kaya kung magbibigyan ng chance ay ipprove ko nalang na special ka, that i care for you, that you're beautiful and more." tapos natawa siya sa "and more" sabay sabi ng "thanks/thank you" then we went to grab some ice cream for dessert. Nung nasa car kami, I even asked her kung galit ba siya sa sinabi ko, hindi daw. For the record, I never asked her how she feel about me coz I know it's still too early to ask. I was just expressing and I'm an expressive guy.

After that date, 2 female friends of mine told me that I shouldn't have told her my feelings like that coz maiilang yung girl. Syempre natakot ako and I noticed na medyo umiba si girl..naging medyo cold siya kasi nabawasan konti yung pagtetext niya. Nagpanic ako pero di ko pinaalam sa kanya at super nagsisi ako sa ginawa ko. I was just being honest lang naman and it's not like hinipuan ko siya or made an offensive statement. Nonetheless, super regret ako sobra.

I tried asking her out again, pero she turned me down instead suggested we go out the following week. So natuloy rin lakad namin and we spent a lot of time together for the 1st time because she has no OT at work. I was cautious about mga sasabihin ko and I could tell that she's enjoying that night. Nung pauwi kami at nasa car, she said she's going to text her mom. I didn't comment. Nung malapit na sa place niya, she told me her mom was not replying to her message kasi gusto daw ako makilala ng mom niya so she's texting her to let her parents know we're near. Unfortunately, hindi natuloy yung pagpapakilala and for the 1st time hindi rin siya nagtext sa akin after that date. I learned the following day that her parents were still awake kaya lang di daw napansin yung message and she also informed me na napagalitan daw siya dahil super late (11pm)na kami nakauwi. I apologized to her pero she said ok lang coz sabi ng parents niya next time hindi na pwede ganon ka-late. Kaya I just comment, agahan namin konti ng uwi next time and also said na, siguro kapag nakilala na ako ng parents mo ay baka mas mabawasan yung pag worry nila.

I thought everything is back to normal but unfortunately it's not. She declined my invitation again this week at next week nalang daw kami aalis. In short, imbes na maging every week ulit date namin para mas may chance ako dumiskarte and get close ay ginawa niyang every other week. I do not know the point of this that's why I like to hear you guy's opinion and advice. I really felt that this is due to my telling her of my feelings during our 4th date. Malamang nailang siya sa akin pero what I do not understand until now, bakit siya maiilang kung I was dropping some hints already from time to time before I even confesed. In short, alam na niyang may gusto ako sa kanya so anong difference pa yung pagtatapat ko in person para mailang pa siya at magbago? any ideas?

Eto pa ang problem ko, hindi ko alam kung ok lang sa kanya ang age gap namin. I would assume na ok lang sa KANYA pero feel ko nagaalangan siya sa sasabihin ng tao. I was thinking kasi, if she's bothered by my age and age gap ay malamang no more succeeding dates diba. Well, I know wala pa siyang binabanggit about our age gap so I never brought it up as well kasi baka naman ako yung magmukhang insecure sa age ko pero on 2nd thought, siguro di rin niya kayang ibrought up yung age gap issue kasi baka maoffend ako. Kaya i'm bothered also on whether to ask her or not and what's the use of it, if ever. I admit rin kaya ko naisip yang age gap ay dahil I saw in her FB wall a converstation she had with her 2 BFFs. She's bothered bout something and seeking help from bff and mukhang bout love/relationship issues. She's saying things like, "kung pwede lang ma experiment ang bagay na ito..." and in the end, "...malabo pananaw namin dito e.".

So what do you guys think about the situation? Bakit naging issue yung pagtapat ko sa kanya? Why do you think ginawa na niyang every other week lakad namin? Could it be iniisip niya kapag every week siya sumasama sa akin ay gusto na niya ako (pero bakit naman niya iisipin yun kung di naman ako nagtanong sa kanya kung gusto na ba niya ako)? or perhaps nabibilisan siya nangyayari kahit na I never asked her how she feels about me?

This is what I can think of right now, though I may be wrong, tingin ko sumasama siya sa akin because interested siya sa akin(NOT GUSTO) especially kilalanin at kahit nagtapat na ako ay hindi naman niya ako binasted, siguro dahil interested nga siya sa akin. But one thing is CERTAIN, wala pa siyang feelings sa akin dahil matagal siya magreply, ayaw niyang magpahatid pauwi from work, hindi niya ako sinasama pa sa mga lakad nilang mag pinsan at lagi apologize siya sa akin ng "sorry di kita mainvite" and ayaw niyang more than once kami lumabas in a week. Maybe she's conservative and she takes getting to know stage slowly. After all, sabi rin ng female friends ko, too early for anything pa. With regards to age, tingin ko kung siya masusunod ay ok lang sa kanya big gap otherwise di na niya siguro ako pinansin after 1st date pero siguro naiisip niya na may sasabihin mga tao especially mga friends and family niya. Again, I'm not sure kung may problema siya sa age gap namin I'm just bothered sa FB wall post niya at minsan nakukutuban ko lang though i'm paranoid minsan. Pero on our last date, nagbiro siya na malapit na bday ko at tumatanda na daw ako and I was so dumb that I said "young at heart naman ako e" instead of "age is just a number lang naman diba" tapos tingnan reaction niya. Hay stupid! stupid! stupid!

Do you guys think may effect age gap namin sa kanya even if she haven't mention anything bout it yet? Napaparanoid talaga ako sa once in 2 weeks na labas namin because I was thinking dapat nagiimprove ang situation or kahit maintain lang pero now, level down e.

bro,

 

deed of donation kc mas mababa ang tax.

 

graduated ang rates ng donor's tax depending sa value ng property (See Section 99 A of the National Internal Revenue Code)

yang lower graduated rates ang mag aapply kc dad mo ang donor. kung stranger, 30% ang tax. malaki. (See Section 99 B of the National Internal Revenue Code)

 

pag deed of sale, capital gains tax na 6% of the selling price or zonal value, whichever is higher

 

compute mo na lang parehas para macompare mo =)

Sir, when you say selling price, is it the current market price (need to be appraised?) or yung price na unang binili yung property? Also, may difference ba yung deed of donation vs deed of donation mortis causa in terms of tax and alin ang mas mabilis gawin? by the way, my dad is old(75) na rin and in a poor health na kaya naisip na niyang ilipat yung name sa amin magkakapatid.

deed of donation lalo kapag dad mo ang magbibigay.

Pero depende din kung san location ng property. hehehe

thanks sir. by the way, the properties are located in QC.

good day sir! i need some advice regarding the transfer of ownership/name of real estate properties. My parents wants to transfer the name of two real estate properties from my dad's name to i and my brother's name. what is the best way to do this and the most cost effective? are the deed of donation and deed of sale(where my dad supposedly sold the properties to us) the only option or are there option? if there's no other option than the two then which one among deed of donation and deed of sale is the better choice and the most cost effective?

good day sir.

i'd like to know if DOLE entertains anonymous complaints of an employee against his or her employer regarding poor working conditions like working longer than 8 hours without pay, not having sss and other mandatory benefits, no vacation leave and no sick leave, and no 1 hour lunch breaks? especially if the employee is still working in the company. Also does BIR entertain anonymous complains or reports?

thanks.

1) ano pwedeng gawin ng husband sa girl legally? iwanan, hiwalayan, depende kung ano ang gusto niya (bawal ang saktan ang girl, except kung caught in the act)

 

2) can the hubby just take their children away without any due process? yes, kung gusto ba niya eh, at di papalag si girl. pero kung pumalag si girl, di niya makukuha ng basta-basta

 

3) can the husband stop sending money from abroad even without due process? yes, sino ba ang pipigil sa kanya kung ayaw niyang magpadala (alalahanin mo, nasa abroad siya, walang kapangyarihan ang hukuman sa abroad)

 

4) what can the girl do? kung tutoo, either iwanan ang BF niya at humingi ng tawad sa asawa (which is the proper thing to do, depende sa asawa kung patatawarin niya ito), or ipagpatuloy niya ang kanyang relasyon sa kanyang BF, at bahala si Mr. sa buhay niya (sino ba tayo para magbawal sa girl, eh matanda na yan at may sariling isip na, alam na niya kung ano ang tama at mali)

 

kung hindi tutoo, kausapin ang asawa niya at magpaliwanag. kung ayaw maniwala ni Mr., wala tayong magagawa, usapan ng mag-asawa na yan

thank you sir rocco69.

good day sir rocco69, i have some questions. let's say a girl is married at nalaman ng husband niya na may BF siya. 1) ano pwedeng gawin ng husband sa girl legally? 2) can the hubby just take their children away without any due process? 3) can the husband stop sending money from abroad even without due process? 5) what can the girl do?

thanks.

sa ilalim ng batas ng Pilipinas, walang bisa ang kasal niya (dahil kasal pa rin siya sa iba).

 

kung uuwi siya ng bago niyang "asawa" dito sa Pilipinas, at magsasama sila dito bilang mag-asawa, maari siyang makasuhan ng criminal case na adultery.

ok got it po. thank you sir rocco69.

sir, can a girl legally marry abroad (U.S or Canada) even if her marriage in the philippines is not annulled? will there be any consequences? thanks.

Hindi abugado ang solusyon sa lahat ng problema.

 

Sa problema ng kaibigan mo, hindi siya dapat nag-iisip agad ng annulment. sa tutoo lang, base sa kwento mo, walang ebidensya na katanggap-tanggap sa korte na nambababae si lalaki.

 

ang pinakamaganda talaga diyan, mag-usap sila ng masinsinan tungkol sa relasyon nila. kung ayaw ni lalaki, pilitin nya na mag-mariage counselling sila.

 

kapag umabot lang sa punto na masasabi niya na WALA NA TALAGANG PAG-ASA na sila'y magsama siya dapat lumapit sa abugado. As of now, going to a lawyer only jeopardizes the chances of the parties reconciling with each other.

thank you sir for the advice. my friend has already tried talking to her husband. she even approach her in a nice way and not confrontational. one month na niyang sinusubukan na magusap sila ng matino pero ayaw talaga ng hubby. the hubby will either keep his mouth totally shut, he would change topic, sometimes would just say kalimutan mo na yun at wag mo na isipin para maging masaya tayo or say good boy ako or hindi ako nambabae. even the siblings of the wife and pamangkins(who doesnt know what's happening) saw that umiba yung kilos ni guy kasi laging tahimik, gusto magisa at minsan parang wala sa sarili. the wife is still asking around sa ship for proof tapos ganon pa treatment ni hubby kaya nahihirapan na siya at 3 weeks nalang babalik na ulit ng barko si guy at ayaw na ng wife mapranning kaya naisip nalang niya to set his husband free basta sustentohan mga anak nila. she told his hubby na punta sila sa lawyer for sustento and the hubby said oo daw. kaya niya naisip kung pwedeng sila nalang gawa contract about sustento kaya lang di lang niya sure kung honor sa court yun kapag di tinupad ni guy yung usapang sustento.

good day sir. i would like to ask something about marriage matters.

i have a friend and she's married for 10 years. her marriage was ok until her husband came home for vacation last year and met a young lady in a culinary training. her husband has been acting differently since then til he went aboard. the young lady applied to be a sea farer as well but was supposed to board a different ship, instead she was assigned to the same ship as the hubby when the hubby's work mate has to leave for emergency. it was a no brainer for the wife that her hubby was responsible for the lady to board the same ship coz her hubby has the authority to request whom to board. the hubby never told the wife about it and she has to learn it from someone else. sources at the ship said the lady and the hubby are close. the wife also found an email which is sort of a signal for two people to meet at wee hours of the morning. when her husband finally came home again for vacation, she waited for him to tell her about the young lady but it never materialized. so she had to take the initiative and asked bout it and also the secret email message but unfortunately, the hubby didn't explain a thing. in short, he just chose to shut up, change topic, lie about certain quesions or just deny it without giving an explanation. he doesnt bother reassures her wife nor comfort her doubt and fears but just say "wala akong babae" or "di ako nambabae". the wife is so fed up already with the hubby treating her like nobody and would very much like to leave his hubby but wants the hubby to support their 2 children's education. the wife suggested annullment to the hubby but he's not open to the idea. so now, the wife plans to draft a contract asking for a specific amount as "sustento" and let the guy signed it then notarized it. will this be honor in court should a problem arises? can she just draft the contract by herself/themselves or is it better to have a lawyer do it? any other way to do this?

If it was a lease to own contract and the other side violated their part of the agreement then the contract is null and void. Kick their sorry asses out of there. In fact you can (albeit with the caveat that this might cost you more than you'll get back) sue them for damages to property.

thank you sir. i'm glad to inform that we have already repossessed the property. the other party leased the property for 6 months and got 20k in deposit and advance. the tenant had all their things moved in already but the other party that we are suing asked them to leave right away due to the eviction. the tenant was so mad coz they didn't realized the other party would do such a thing and what's worst the 20k was not returned to them so they plan to sue him.

there are lots of things to fix...the door to the patio was missing, the parquet of the stairs are gone, the railings of the staircase was gone, the built-in cabinet of the 2BRs were gone, the window downstair was altered, the kitchen cabinet had no doors already and was few inches away from the wall, seems like they plan to take it off but wasn't able to. it would be nice to sue them for damage to property but my parents don't want to go through the stress again much more the added expenses. we will just use to money to slowly repair the damages.

thanks again for the advice.

My advise is to get a court order giving you possession of the property. Does the other party have any contract of lease with your parents?

yes sir, there's a contract of lease. actually, it's a lease to own contract but it wasn't stated that the other party cannot sublease the property nor can we padlock the gate so they cannot go inside anymore. last night, my mom told me that the sheriff's notice was already served to the other party but she wasn't sure if the other party signed it or not. we also learned that the other party removed the built in cabinets of each room as well as the railing/handle of the staircase.

sir,

i would like to ask for some legal advice on a case regarding my parent's property. basically, a buyer wasn't able to fulfil his responsibility anymore and my parent's have no choice but to bring it to court. after several delaying tactics from the buyer to lenghten the court proceedings, the judge junked their memorandum to dismiss the case. the sheriff wasn't able to locate the other party to give him the notice of eviction as he have moved out of the property and he has closed down or relocated his business so the sheriff suggested that he will make a memorandum to the judge that we be allow to reposses our property since the other party is nowhere to be found. now the problem is, when the other party moved out of our property, he asked a relative to stay in the property while the case is going on and just recently we found that the relative was already gone and now the other party is renting out our property to someone else. this is really frustrating especially to my parents since they are old already and the problem is an added stress to them. by the way the property is lease to own type. i have some questions:

1. will the sheriff's recommendation about making a memorandum for repossesing the property since the other party can't be located work?

2. can we bribe the sheriff to go in the property and repossess it even if it's not stated in the contract that we can forcibly take possession of the property should the event that he cannot pay the monthly payment? if so, how can we deal with the tenant presently renting the property from the other party?

3. are there any other solution to this problem to finally get our property back and relieved some stress from my parents? i was thinking if only the property is vacant and we force our way in, we would end up getting hold of the property even if he makes an appeal compare to the situation right now where someone is renting our property, the other party might made an appeal when he finds out that we are going to drive his tenant out.

any info/advice will be much appreciated.

If he has already began packing his things, enforce the ruling of the judge, how many days did the judge give him to leave the premises? Bribing a judge in a case you've already won is a waste of money.

actually i don't understand what's going on anymore. after i got the news of the impending sheriff i thought it would be over soon but suddenly this person decided to file some kind of motion to, i think, dismiss the case. i heard the person even went to our lawyer personally to hand over a copy of the motion then a hearing took place and our lawyer told the judge we won't be giving the other party another chance to pay up since its been a year of broken promises so the judge said to wait for his verdict. after a week my mom made a follow up with our lawyer but she was told that it would take 3 weeks.

i'm not an expert with the law regarding this case much more the relationship between a lawyer and a client but i somehow feel that our lawyer is not aggressive enough. sometimes i feel like our lawyer is like a govt employee that need to be bribe to move. i don't know if they are just busy or they are just slow. last time i asked my mom about the case, she hesitantly told me that it will take 3 weeks then i told her we can enforce the ruling of the judge(as you mentioned) and she just told me the other party filed a motion so we can't do anything about it at the moment but wait it out. i told her how i feel about our lawyer and she just said maybe they are busy with other case and it's not that quick. i feel that my mom doesn't want to go into details with me or my brother coz sometimes we can't control our temper when things are damn slow so i think my mom is already frustrated and doesn't want to hear us rant anymore hence my lack of knowledge of what's going on. now, i tried not to ask anymore so as not to put additional stress but i wish the damn case will start moving. goddamn it, sometimes i get so pissed at the slow pace that i actually thought of doing something illegal to the other person just to get this over with but i'm worried that it might have a negative effect on my parents. sorry for the rant but i feel i need to vent.

bad news sir..i think the other party started packing his things coz he got the eviction notice but the problem is, he filed a motion according to our lawyer. my parents didn't know what the motion is all about yet but probably to dismiss the case. can the other party file a motion after receiving the eviction notice? also, according to our lawyer, even if the other party received the eviction notice and the 5 day given to him has expired, we still need to wait for the judge's go signal before we could proceed with the eviction. is this true? how long does this kind of case last before it can be resolve? i was telling my parents to bribe the judge so that he or she will automatically grant the eviction and dismissing all motion but my parents are hesitant coz it might cost a lot and also might lead to consequences. damn this is getting frustrating.

Well this is the Philippines, and of course it is possible that the sheriff could have been bribed or is otherwise too lazy to act, though of course you could complain (not that it'll do much good). The best solution is to take a video of the other party and his family going home together with a newspaper so that the date is clearly seen. You could hire a detective agency to do the surveillance for you or perhaps do it yourselves, then show this to the sheriff's office. Alternatively, you could petition the judge for permission to replace the lock on the door. For a cheaper solution, don't replace the lock on the door, just add new locks (the type that is secured by padlocks) to the doors so they can't get in.

so far i heard from the neighbors that the other party is starting to move out and i think they are aware already of the sheriff. i just hope everything will be ok soon. thank you again sir for the advice.

good day sir, i would like to ask some follow up questions regarding eviction/sheriff again. according to my mom, our lawyer told her that someone from the sheriff department tried delivering the notice to the other party but the other party supposedly went out of town. my mom called up an acquiantance who's a neighbor of the other party and they confirmed that the guy didn't go out of town coz they see the guy and his family coming home everyday. my mom feels that the sheriff might be lying especially after getting paid already so our lawyer will talk to them soon. my questions are:

1. is it possible that the other party couldve bribed the sheriff to buy some time?

2. is it possible for a sheriff to never fulfill their duty or intentionally delay it after getting paid of the sheriff's fee (coz my mom said that they won't move unless they get paid of the fee first perhaps our lawyer told her that)?

3. what measures can be taken should the other party refuse to receive the notice?

4. what's the best thing to do in this situation and is the delay even normal?

thanks for any info.

You aren't breaking in, you are repossessing the property of your family, just do it with the sheriff as your witness.

ok. thank you sir for your advice.

Okay, that prolongs the agony a little bit. If the evicted party isn't there, but the property is in the name of your parents, you can break the lock/s and replace them with new sturdy ones. The sheriffs will probably help with this (given a little encouragement ... financially speaking). The best bet is to have a locksmith ready to pick the lock/s and replace them. I do mean pretty much all of them mind you.

sir, the property is still in my parents name. they haven't fully paid the property yet thus no transfer of names were made. just to clarify..so it won't be illegal to break the locks or break-in even if the belongings of the other party are still inside the house?
