    An account signatory is a person or entity that is authorized to manage a financial account on behalf of the account holder. If you wife wants you gone she has sole right of habitation on the land, which means you can be arrested as a trespasser as you walk across HER land to the actual home structure. She can't sell it, but she can kick you to the street, which is nearly just as powerful.

      @MakeTheRules2 hey, thanks for that, although I don't know if the term counter-signatory was correct... I just mean... that I also have my name on all documents, my signatures are everywhere too, as well as hers. Thanks for the info though

    So you did 421 sqm and 89 sqm?

    • @LifeAsWestwood

      @markeuringer8106 Hey Mark, no we got 441sqm which includes the 89 portion. Long story short, the original owner declared 15 x 38 for 800k, it came out considerably less. We whined and was about to walk away from the deal lol, and then the rice field owner (mother title owner) agreed to extend the land into his field a bit, adding 89 to the total. Hope that helps

    did you ensure you have right of access to your land if there is only one other owner of the properties around you?

      @Grimberian72 hey, fortunately the access to our portion of land is on the edge of their mother title, it sits right on the access road, so they couldn't technically block us out lol 😆

    if you want more viewers the best thing is learn tagalog …. the more you are bulol but trying to learn our language you will be getting more attention for Pinoy viewers … use also your pinay wife to make translate it in tagalog …. trust it many vlogger using tagalog or visayan (more on cebuanos etc …) draw more viewers from pinoys …. because pinoys is being amazed for foreigners who loved to learn our own language 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
    by the way good job googluck

    They should not allow forigners to buy land period and I'm not a Filipino 🤷🏾‍♂️

    • @LifeAsWestwood

      @snow-uq4gx So, you're saying that foreigners that go into any country, for example... British that go to Spain, or Indians that go to UK, should also not be allowed to buy land? Just because it's not their country of origin? Hmm... not with you on that one, just because we are born in one country doesn't mean we have to live and die within that country without ever having an opportunity to move and settle.

      Hi Snow,
      In the Philippines, foreign nationals married to a Filipino citizen can have property titled under their spouse’s name, but they cannot directly co-own the land. The land will be registered solely under the Filipino spouse's name, allowing the foreigner to enjoy its use and benefits as part of the marital estate. However, if the Filipino spouse passes away, the foreigner may not inherit the land, as it is reserved for Filipino citizens.
      If you are a foreign national looking to purchase land, this is not allowed. However, you are permitted to own condominium units.

      @PotatoofFries however in this case, we'd have it land in the hands of our little dual citizenship son

      @LifeAsWestwood nope don't get it twisted don't put word's in my mouth..I'll elaborate...3rd world countries should not allow foreigners with big money to buy land..u know the obvious reason...just like u can't go into ccp land or Thailand or Indonesia and do the same thing..usa and all other 1st world countries are a completely different circumstance
