Good day, Sir Randell. I am doing a research on Estate Taxes. Someone in another website mentioned “Estate Planning” in my query, “Are Estate Taxes in the Philippines too much?” So I googled “estate planning” and the first on the list is your site. I’m just asking if there are any laws out there regulating “Estate Planning” and I’m also wondering how one does it. I need your answers to back my research up, which will be used in drafting a bill by a congressman. Thanks!

Hi Randell, do we already have living trust in the Philippines? Is it limited to the plans that we have with the bank? How about real estate – do we have living trust in this area already?

Hi Randell,

I agree, Filipinos should learn how to build estate and do estate planning but as in all things new, where to start is the problem. The concept of estate planning is something new in respect to the Filipino culture Do you have a formula of sort that would break the ice. Thanks and more power.

Hi Randell,

Agree with you 100%. Building an estate is something that we don’t just owe to ourselves but to the families that we started. Thanks for sharing.
