Who is wrong and about what?
If you refer to my previous post, I am 100% correct in what I said. The law is PERFECTLY CLEAR about a foreigner owning land through hereditary succession and cannot be interpreted in any other way.
Before my wife and I retired here eight years ago we researched in considerable depth the issue of ownership, and therefore my security in the event of her death. What I realised at the start is you can get ten different answers and opinions from ten different 'experts' and most are wrong.
I am entirely satisfied that should the unfortunate happen, I will inherit the property 100% BUT we have two separate legal wills and in my wife's will I am the sole beneficiary.
There is little more to say on this subject. There is no confusion and no ambiguity; under the constitution and current law, the only way a foreigner can own land in the Philippines is through hereditary succession.
