Legal Question in Family Law in Philippines

house inheritance

our granfather has died without leaving a will to whom his house would belong. Our youngest uncle claims that the house should be given to him. Is there any law that states '' any house should belong to the yougest child and that nobody among the siblings have the right to own the house''

Dear Sir,

Assuming that your grandfather has no creditors, the house shall form part of his estate which shall pass on to his legitimate children in equal shares. I may be reached at [email protected]
