Unlock This Document — ₱199Step 1: Log In and Open Your Dashboard
Sign in to your Legalia account. After logging in you will land on the document library dashboard, which lists all available document types grouped by category — Affidavits, Contracts, Deeds, and more.
Step 2: Select Petition for Cancellation of Creditor's Lien
Find and click Petition for Cancellation of Creditor's Lien in the Estate Settlement category. The document editor opens in a two-panel layout:
- Left panel — the guided form with all required and optional fields
- Right panel — the live document preview, updated in real time
Every change you make in the form is immediately reflected in the preview — you always see exactly what will print.
Step 3: Fill In the Form
Complete all required fields in the form on the left panel. The form is organized into logical sections with clear labels and guidance. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
For this petition, have a certified true copy of the title on hand: you will need the title number, the lot/block/plan details, the annotation's Entry No. and date, and the date of the extrajudicial settlement the two-year period is counted from. You can add or remove petitioners — the document's grammar adjusts automatically for one or several registered owners.
Step 4: Review the Live Preview
The right panel shows the document exactly as it will print. Review the full text carefully — check that all information is accurate and complete.
- Short / Long paper toggle — switches between 8.5×11 and 8.5×13 page formats. Use the size your Register of Deeds prefers.
- Polish with AI — rewrites the document in formal legal language while preserving all facts. Useful when fields are filled with informal language.
Step 5: Print or Save as PDF
When the document looks correct, click the Print button in the action bar. Your browser's print dialog opens.
- To print on paper: select your printer and click Print.
- To save a PDF: change the Destination to Save as PDF. The output is a clean document with no UI chrome, headers, or footers — formatted with correct margins and line spacing.
Bring the printout to your commissioned notary public for signature and notarization, then file it with the Register of Deeds together with the owner's duplicate certificate of title.
