EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

Spouses who are judicially separated from property are not entitled to inherit from each other's separate property as if the marriage had not existed — unless the will specifically provides for it.

Official text — EO 209

Separation of property may refer to present or future property or both. It may be total or partial. In the latter case, the property not agreed upon as separate shall pertain to the absolute community. (213a)
