Under Philippine law of legal succession (the deceased did not leave a will), heirs (spouses and children) automatically inherit the testator`s estate at the time of death.
The estate includes both the real estate and the personal property of the deceased. The legitimation of the heirs is part of the inheritance reserved for them. Note that the law only reserves a part (or percentage) and not a specific part of the inheritance. If a compulsory heir is denied his or her reserved portion in whole or in part, the law shall take measures to remedy this and ensure the recovery of the compulsory heir. 6.
