Choose by What Is Blocking the Transaction
Use these quick paths if you are comparing services and want the fastest way to identify the most likely starting page.
I am buying land and want due diligence before I pay.
Start here if you need title verification, seller checks, tax review, access validation, or negotiation support before closing.
The title still shows the previous owner after a sale, donation, or inheritance.
Choose this path when ownership needs to be updated and the transaction cannot move until the filing order, taxes, and Registry steps are clear.
The property is inherited, co-owned, or still untitled.
Use this route when heirs need to divide land, co-owners need a cleaner ownership structure, or untitled land must be screened before any transfer.
Taxes, mortgage annotation, or old records are blocking the transaction.
Begin here if the file is stalled by unpaid real property tax, missing receipts, lender requirements, or an existing mortgage that affects transfer readiness.
We are comparing exchange, consolidation, or joint venture options.
Choose this path when a standard sale is not the only option and you need help comparing structure, taxes, title implications, and landowner protections.

What to Prepare First
These are the most common documents clients gather before LandMaster Realty reviews a title, tax, or ownership issue.
Identity and authority documents
- Government-issued IDs of all owners, buyers, heirs, or signatories involved.
- Marriage consent, board resolution, estate papers, or representative authority when another person is signing.
- Special Power of Attorney if the client is based outside Ilocos Sur or overseas.
Property and tax records
- Owner's copy or certified true copy of title, or the best available ownership record if the land is still untitled.
- Latest tax declaration and real property tax receipts so the current property record can be checked quickly.
- Survey plans, technical descriptions, sketches, or lot references when the issue involves boundaries, subdivision, or consolidation.
Transaction papers and working notes
- Deed of sale, deed of donation, extrajudicial settlement, draft agreement, loan papers, or exchange terms if they already exist.
- Seller information, buyer information, payment status, and transaction timeline expectations.
- Any prior notices from the Registry of Deeds, assessor, treasurer, developer, or lender that may affect processing.
