Certain legal matters require special proceedings—a unique category of cases governed by specific rules under Philippine law. At Simando & Associates Law, we provide legal assistance in a variety of special proceedings, ensuring that your unique legal issues are resolved efficiently and in compliance with the law. Whether you’re looking to correct civil status, change name, appoint a guardian, or other special legal matters, our legal team is ready to assist.
Our law firm assists clients in navigating the legal process to change a name or correct civil registry errors such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other official records, whether it’s a simple typographical error or a substantial change.
We help families apply for legal guardianship for minors, incapacitated adults, or individuals who are unable to manage their own affairs. Our legal team guides you through the process to ensure the appointment of a guardian complies with the requirements set by Philippine law, protecting the rights of the ward.
If a loved one has been missing for an extended period, we can help you petition the court, allowing heirs to settle estate matters or enabling surviving spouses to remarry. These complex cases require a careful understanding of legal standards, and we provide dedicated support every step of the way.
We provide legal services for both testate (with a will) and intestate (without a will) settlements, ensuring that the estate is distributed fairly among heirs. Our team handles probate and extrajudicial settlement, as well as addressing any disputes or issues that arise during the process.
In cases where unlawful or illegal detention is suspected, our lawyers can assist in filing a petition for habeas corpus to secure the release of a person who is being held without legal cause.
Special proceedings cover a wide range of unique legal cases. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as a special proceeding, we encourage you to consult with one of our experienced lawyers. We can assess your case and guide you through the appropriate legal steps, ensuring that your rights are fully protected.
