Claiming Escheated Land Property

Summary

It is possible to claim land even after 20 years if you have evidence of ownership. If the property has been escheated, you can file a claim with the state to reclaim it, providing proof of ownership. Consulting a lawyer can help navigate the legal process. Consider checking with the Registry of Deeds, conducting a title search, and reviewing tax records to locate the land title.

It is still possible to claim the land even after 20 years. Here are some points to consider:
- Prescription Period: In the Philippines, you may still claim property if you have sufficient evidence of ownership, even if a long time has passed.
- Escheat: If the property has not been claimed or taxes unpaid, it might be subject to escheatment, where the state claims the property.

If the property has been escheated, it means the state has taken ownership due to a lack of legal heirs or unpaid taxes. However, you may still have options:
- File a claim: You can file a claim with the state to reclaim the property, providing evidence of your ownership.
- Consult a lawyer: A lawyer can help navigate the legal process and strengthen your case.
