Magandang Araw!
I pray and wish that 2023 would be a great year for all of us.
However, today, I would share a throwback of my activities last year. In particular, 3rd quarter of last year, I was lucky enough to be able to assist an Extra Judicial Settlement of Estate with Deed of Absolute Sale. It was not the usual Deed of Absolute Sale, it was a Unilateral Deed of Sale.
What is a UNILATERAL DEED OF SALE
It is a Deed of Sale, where only one party to the transaction is signing the document...the SELLER. Most often, this happens when one of the parties is not available to personally sign thru a bilateral contract, which is the usual Deed of Absolute Sale, where both Buyer and Seller signed.
In this case, the Seller is in a foreign country, so the document will be notarized and apostilled there. Or, it will be thru the Philippine Consulate in that country.
EXTRA JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE
Since one of the owners (whose names were on the title), the husband, had passed away, there's a need to file the estate tax to pass on the ownership to the heirs. This was done by executing the Extra Judicial Settlement of Estate. However, only half of the property was subject to estate tax, as the remaining half was the share of the wife who is still living.
The share of the husband who passed away will be divided between the daughter and the wife, equally. They are the legitimate heirs.
THE PROCESS
In this case. the Sellers were out of the country, and didn't want to execute a Special Power of Attorney, authorizing a trusted person to sign the Deed of Absolute Sale in their behalf. So the option here was for the SELLER to execute an Extra Judicial Settlement of Estate with Unilateral Deed of Sale. It is only the SELLERS who will sign the document plus two witnesses.
Since everything in the transaction was agreed by both Buyer and Sellers, after the Sellers signed the document, it was presented to the Philippine Consul for the acknowledgment and notarization.

Then, the SELLER sent the document here in the Philippines for processing of the estate tax filing and the sale transaction.
For the estate tax filing via the Extra Judicial Settlement of Estate, just please refer to my previous blog since the requirements and process are there and they are just the same.

As to the processing of the Unilateral Deed of Sale, it's just the same as the usual Deed of Absolute Sale process. For your reference, here is the link to my blog on Deed of Absolute Sale:
