Anyone know the general Philippine law regarding wills?
Are holographic wills valid? (written entirely in one’s own handwriting not witnessed.)
How would a Philippine will impact foreign holdings?
Would a will written in accordance with Canadian law, apply to assets held in the Philippines?
If someone on a long term resident visa died in the Philippines where would the will be probated?
Let’s assume for simplicity that there is no Philippine spouse or family and all the estate is left to foreign family and that the majority of the holdings are offshore to the Philippines.
Not looking for specific legal guidance just people's own experiences or second-hand knowledge in the area. ( I am looking to find out what questions I need to ask a lawyer in this area.)
