If a property is given to you, does it also belong to your spouse?

Summary

Are your parents planning to give you real property? Will the property form part of the conjugal property in case the heir is married?

It’s normal for our parents to give us their properties. Usually, parents like transferring their properties to their kids when they are already old… and usually, the children are already married.

So what usually happens is itong lupang ito para kay Kuya, ito kay ate, itong pinakamagandang lupa kay bunso…But what if there is only one property to give away among many heirs and they all have spouses? Owners na rin ba yung spouses?

This is exactly the question of our reader Vi, HI VI!, and she writes:

“Attorney, My father intends to assign my sister and me as heirs of land he owns. However, I am already married, will it become a conjugal property? Would there be any legal conflict if my spouse and I decided to put up a structure on the land? Thank you!”

But before that, we would like to give a shoutout to one of our followers, Jane Teruel who said:
