Hello po pano po pag dati nang May property sa pinas then naging citizen sa ibang bansa at dipa nag dual citizen pano magkakaroon ba po ng problema?

[@solesperanzasgvlog7851]

thank you po Atty

[@alexisrusselolivar32]

Atty here are the facts of my query:
A (natural born Filipino Citizen) died leaving a parcel of land in the Phil. to his wife, B (non resident alien-foreigner) via Testamentary Succession. In a accordance with the law, foreigners cannot own a land via testamentary succession. B decided to sell the land to a resident citizen. Can B sell the land because as far as I remember, the seller of the land must be the absolute owner and has the right to dispose or sell the property, in this case B cannot be the owner? What are the possible remedies to effect the transfer?
