Unfortunately, for mistakes in a birth certificate referring to gender, the law requires that this be corrected only by filing a petition with the Regional Trial Court of the place where birth certificate is registered, i.e. in the RTC of the place where you were born.

 

No choice ka dito. You have to hire a lawyer to file the petition, etc.

 

Thank you sir!!!

hi.. jedimaster? the jedimaster i know?

 

Anyways, i got Vista Business here in my office. I played with it last friday and it was quite neat. Of course didnt have the chance to really dig into it. But I am really not comfortable with Office 2007, the way they modified the toolbars. No more ALT F,E,V, etc.

Just keep on using it to familiarize yourself and in due time you'll be able to use it smoothly, as you said, they modified the look and feel of it :cool:

I work in a bank, and sometimes people come to me requesting to open an ITF account and claim they are the legal guardian of the child or children. BTW, I am a very cautious person. What if they only wish to open a bank account, is it still essential to ask for a court order?

 

Sorry... but what is an ITF account and how is it significant, i.e. how does it differ from an ordinary account?

 

Off-hand though, I would say a court order would be necessary if an alleged guardian is trying to claim the amounts contained in an account of a dead person, on the claim that the said account has been inherited by the minor.

 

However, if he is just opening an account on behalf of a minor, and depositing money in it, a court order would be unnecessary, as his identity would be the only important consideration and the requirement of several primary IDs would already identify him.

 

Anyway, he is DEPOSITING money, not claiming the money of someone else. If someone else deposits money in the account, it should now be the lookout of this person/s to verify whether or not the person acting as a legal guardian is really the guardian.

ITF is short for "IN TRUST FOR" account. Normally people who wants to open a term or demand deposit but has not attained legal capacity, incompetent, physically incapacitated, and among others are opened in this manner. The account would be under the name of the what ive enumerated but it is entrusted to a parent or legal guardian.

 

How about if the purported legal guardian wants to open an ITF account intended for the remittance of a monthly SSS pension that will be received by minors due from the death of their parents. Would I need a court order?

 

BTW, on what grounds can I reject a SPA? A while ago a person approached me and showed a SPA that appears to be duly aunthenticated by our consul in the US. The same purportedly authorizes the said person to withdraw funds from the account of our client. However, the SPA was thumbmarked as the owner of the account is allegedly bed ridden. We didnt allowed the withdrawal to be effected since we have no way to auntenthicate the thumbmark affixed on the document. If it had been a signature which what it is normally affixed in a SPA, ok sana. Tama ba kami on that point?

 

What other grounds can we use to reject a SPA? How about if the powers conferred to the attorney-in-fact is very general or ambiguous? (e.g. to withdraw, collect, deposit from my account) Wala manlang indication ng bank, branch, account number,etc.

If your bank has an SOP written in B&W, just follow it, STRICTLY. That way, its the bank that will be held liable should a legal problem arise in the future.

can anyone tell me what to do?

 

ung ginawa ng mom ko na birthcertificate with my step dad as my father ay di po pala na register and yon ang ginamit ko til nag asawa ako, nung kumuha ako ng authenticated na birth certificate ko from NSO ung sa real father ko pala ang nandun. please help!

 

Would it be a problem if you start using the details on your authenticated birth certificate from now on?

With the current AMLA mentality of the BSP, I would strongly advise limiting ITF accounts to those opened for minors by their parents. If a person claims to be a legal guardian, you will need a court order appointing that person to be the legal guardian. This may be extreme, I know, but the purported legal guardian as signatory to the account will have full power of disposition over the funds deposited in the account. The court order will protect you from liability in case other persons start to claim the funds.

 

With respect to an SPA, it is up to the other party, in which case your bank, whether or not to accept it. The law does not require you to accept an SPA and in fact the risk is borne by the party accepting an SPA. So if in doubt, get an opinion from your Legal Department and follow it, again to CYA.

 

As to generality in the powers, if it is couched in general terms, then it is not an SPA. To be on the safe side, I suggest being conservative, that is, it should be very specific, clearly mentions the power to withdraw and sign receipts etc. Again, I recommend getting an opinion from Legal, just for CYA.

yes it would be a problem, i've been using it as my middle name since i'm using my step dads name b4 i got married.

Assuming that the NSO has authenticated the correct birth certificate, I don't see that you have much of a choice. You will have to use your real father's name in every case that a birth certificate is required from now on. You may still continue to use your step father's middle name for all other purposes but I suggest that you use the one stated in your NSO authenticated Birth Certificate. For any person or institution that questions you, just try to keep an Affidavit executed by two disinterested persons who can vouch for your identity.

There are so many reasons involved with this kind of problem. Hardware, Software, Internal and External factors. try to check on your UPS or power surge first then slowly move into the computer parts factor starting with the power supply, it may take time to isolate each component but this is the best way to check your hardwares before jumping into the software side of the problem, even in microsoft website, there are many topics about power shutdown, PC restarting by itself and the likes but don't jump that far too fast. A few months ago one PC here in the office had the same problem as yours, but before checking the computer system or programs side we checked on the physical aspects first and found out that the power supply was the cause of the problem. so i told one of my men to purchase a new power supply then after insatalling it the problem was resolved. yours might have different causes but be patient, after all you need to use your computer so i guess it wouldn't be too much if you spend a little more time and effort to make sure that your PC would work just the way you want it :cool:

 

 

had the same case in my sister's pc. the power supply unit was the culprit, so we simply replaced it.

Hello Sirs, I was wondering if anyone here can be kind enough to answer my query: Is there a statute of limitations on car accidents?

 

I was involved in a car accident last year and I maintained that I was the victim. A police report was filed immediately after the incident and it read in my favor.

 

However, discussions with the other party was futile. Almost a year has passed and I've forgotten about the accident. Only recently did I get the urge have the damage repaired and was wondering if I still have the right to send the bill to the offending party.

 

Please help.. Thanks in advance.
