Notarize an Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate Online
When a person dies without a will and the heirs agree on dividing the estate, the law lets them settle extrajudicially through a notarized deed, published in a newspaper, and filed with the Registry of Deeds. It is one of the most signature-heavy documents in Philippine practice because every heir must sign.
The scattered-heirs problem, solved
Estates stall for years because one heir is in Canada, another in Davao, another in Manila. Remote electronic notarization brings all heirs into one session. Heirs abroad can participate from Philippine embassy or consular premises under the Rules on Electronic Notarization.
What you need
- The settlement deed in PDF listing all heirs and the division agreed
- Valid government-issued ID for every heir
- Death certificate and property documents for reference
Estate tax filing, publication, and registration follow notarization. We recommend having counsel review the deed; we can point you to partner lawyers during booking.
