What if you're going to sell a property you inherited but it's still in the name of your parents? How should you settle the estates of a deceased married couple? Where should you pay the estate tax for each of them? A lot of the properties we help buy or sell, are usually inherited properties that are still in the name of the parents, grandparents, or even siblings of grandparents. And the big problem here which complicates the sale is that all their estates have not yet been settled. This is the question of one of our viewers, Anthony and he writes: “Property is located in QC with both names under mother and father. Mother died in the province as indicated in the death cert. Father died in QC as indicated in death cert. My father died a few years after my mother. Will the estate tax be settled 50% in the province and 50% in QC?” If you're having issues transferring your land or have issues transferring the properties of a loved one who passed away, we have something that can help.

Are you hiring right now? Are you having trouble finding qualified applicants? A lot of employers have a hard time finding employees who are a good fit for their team. They have a lot of questions such as: -What is one thing I could do to increase the chances of recognizing the right employee? -How important is the resume? -What are the things I should look out for in the interview? -How can I know if the applicant's career plan is aligned with us? -What's one thing I can do as a recruiter to show that I am professional? To help you guys out, we invited our friends from StackPH, a company that assists BPO businesses in filling in personnel vacancies by handling recruitment functions for them. But before that, let us do a shoutout to our reader, Anthony C, who writes: "Very helpful.. it is definitely straightforward and easy to understand.

Did somebody give you 1 share or 1% share in a corporation just because they needed to complete the minimum number of shareholders? We see this a lot in family corporations and businesses. Stockholders whose names are placed in the corporation as owners, when in fact they don't have any investment in the corporation…or they're not even involved in the corporation at all. Many times we find that the owners of a corporation include the names of the owner's children. Sometimes you will even see secretaries, drivers, or even household helpers named as part owners of the company. So our question for today comes from Marie G, and she writes: “Attorney, my friend started a corporation many years back and he asked me if I can be a dummy stockholder for him along with his girlfriend, his mom, and tita (auntie). I agreed. I think he gave me 1%. Since then I do not have any update on what happened to the company. Sometimes my friend makes me sign things. But when I ask him about it, he tells me that these are routine documents. I'm worried I might get sued someday. What are my rights as a dummy? ” If you were wondering about the same thing as Marie, stick around. This episode is brought to you by the "Putting up a Corporation" workshop, an online course that orients you on the basics of starting a company in the Philippines. It talks about what is a corporation exactly, what are the things you should decide on first, before making the leap, and what is the procedure to expect when processing the papers.

Nahihiya po ako to say kung magkano (I'm ashamed to say how much it is). We signed a document where my friend acknowledged that he owes me the amount.

Are you considering putting your property in the name of your kids (by selling or donation) as some sort of succession planning tool? We hear this all the time. Parents buying properties, thinking of their children's future, putting it in the names of their kids so that even as kids, they already have assets. So our question for today comes from Lani H, and she writes: “Attorney, If parents sold the property to one of their children; do they need other children's consent? It is useful because nowadays, one sibling can just persuade his/her parents to sell their property to him which serves as a home to other siblings. When the Deed of Sale is executed and the ownership is transferred, the sibling who bought the property can evict even his parents and his other siblings.” If you were wondering about the same thing, stick around.

If the employee resigns and they've completed the turnover, are they required to stay? How can they leave even if the 30-day turnover isn't done yet? A lot of resigning (or about to resign employees) have this on their mind just like our reader, Kira, who asks: "Atty, I have recently resigned from my job due to family matters and conflicts. I gave the resignation letter to our manager on the same date. I also endorsed and turned over all the files to my co-workers. I asked my boss if I can just render a 1-day turnover, to which he said no. I said that I won't come back anymore. Can I do that? Can I still get my COE and final pay?"

So you've passed your resignation papers, and you're now turning them over with your previous employer. But you're wondering "What am I supposed to be doing right now?" Just like our reader, Luchiel, who asks: "I just want to clarify things regarding my resignation. My employer asked me to present a report to the board of directors because my manager can't report it. Am I allowed to decline because I am just an associate?

A good indicator that a business is being run professionally is if they issue employment contracts to employees. It takes a mature business to realize the value of an employment contract and use it to make its legal systems easier to run. But the employment contract leads to so many misconceptions, both on the employer's and the employee's side. One of the most common questions we get on our site is a variation of: "Attorney, my employer didn't issue me an employment contract. Can I immediately resign?" Or on the side of the employer, they ask: "Attorney, I want to terminate an employee. I didn't issue him an employment contract. Can I just remove him now?" If you've been wondering about the same things because of the lack of an employment contract, stay tuned. This video was brought to you by "How to draft a probationary contract" an online workshop that teaches owners, managers, and supervisors how to create the most important contract during recruitment.

They say that "The key to a happy life is a happy wife.” That's for romantic relationships, but I think that principle applies equally to business relationships. Having a good partner ensures that all of your actions are in line and you can focus on external challenges as a team. This is one of the things our student, Sam, was thinking of when he asked: "Attorney, I'm currently setting up a business and I want to ask a friend to be one of my business partners. But since this is the first time I'm doing this, I'm not sure if this is the right direction. What should I look for in a business partner so that we can have a prosperous and legally-smooth business together?" If you're in a similar situation as Sam, stick around to find out.
