Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter (Real Estate) is a crucial legal instrument in the Philippines used when property rights are being violated or threatened. This document is typically employed when there are unauthorized activities such as property encroachment, illegal occupation, unauthorized construction, or violation of property restrictions. The letter serves as a formal warning and demand under Philippine property law, giving the recipient notice of their violations and an opportunity to cease such activities before formal legal proceedings are initiated. It must be drafted in compliance with the Civil Code of the Philippines and related real estate laws, containing specific details about the property, the nature of the violation, demands for cessation, and deadlines for compliance. This document is often used as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if the unauthorized activities continue, demonstrating the property owner's attempt to resolve the matter amicably before pursuing court action.
