Extra Judicial Settlement of Estate

 Magandang araw! There is a time in our life when we are ready to purchase real estate property where our home sweet home will soon hopefully rise. We may already have enough financial resources or stability to purchase it in cash, installment or through financing. There are perks when we do the purchase on cash basis. However, as long as we have a stable job or a stable business it would be easy to apply for a lot loan or a housing loan.

However, I had a miscarriage,  my body gave in to emotional and physical stress. I blamed myself for what had happened. To add up, it was only my 2 year old daughter and I, as my husband had returned overseas. He was struggling with his work by that time, as well.  I took a maternity leave due to the miscarriage. But, thinking I had lots of pending works in the office, I decided to return to work after two weeks of rest. A very bad decision as it created health issues, that made me decide to c
