​Ever wondered what happens when the same property is sold to two different people? In the Philippines, this is known as a Double Sale, and the law provides clear rules on who gets to keep the property. ⚖️

​According to Article 1544 of the Civil Code, the priority is determined by: ​1️⃣ First to Register: The person who first registers the sale with the Registry of Deeds in good faith. 2️⃣ First to Possess: If no one registered, the person who first took physical possession of the property in good faith. 3️⃣ Oldest Title: If neither of the above applies, the person who has the oldest title, also in good faith. ​🔑 Key Takeaway: Always act in Good Faith! If you knew about the first sale, you won't be protected by the law. ​🛡️ Pro-Tips for Buyers: ​Investigate Thoroughly: Check the title at the Registry of Deeds before buying. ​Register Promptly: Don't delay registering your Deed of Absolute Sale. ​Actual Inspection: Visit the property to ensure no one else is claiming or occupying it. ​Protect your hard-earned investments!
