Need opinions on a family land issue because honestly I don’t know what to think anymore.

My aunt got very sick before and couldn’t afford her hospital bills, so she sold part of her land and house to her eldest daughter. From what I know, my aunt only decided to sell the property because the daughter allegedly did not want to keep helping financially unless there was some kind of collateral or assurance in return. My aunt also has two other children, but both of them were still struggling financially at the time and couldn’t contribute much.

Instead of paying the full amount at once, the daughter only gave her around ₱5k–₱10k from time to time while also helping with hospital expenses. They preferred doing it this way because they didn’t want to shoulder future hospital bills all at once in case my aunt needed more treatment later on.

Both my aunt and her husband kept getting sick, so the hospital expenses became frequent. There was even one time when the daughter paid around ₱50k for a hospital bill and got upset because she felt like she was spending too much money already, only to later realize that the amount was actually being deducted from the payment for the land anyway.

That’s why the situation became messy. Almost every hospital expense kept getting deducted from the payment for the property itself, so my aunt never really got to save or benefit financially from selling the land. She’s now a senior citizen with no stable income.

The land is more than 430 sqm total, and the eldest daughter already got around 200+ sqm. The remaining land is supposed to be divided among the other siblings. The property is also located near the highway and close to a plantation, so it has strong business potential and could become even more valuable in the future.

Here’s another important detail: the land title is STILL under my aunt’s mother’s name. Now, my aunt’s daughter and her husband want to transfer the title into the husband’s name, but when they went to the BIR, they were told they need to pay around ₱85k in capital gains tax and other fees.

Here’s where the issue started: The eldest daughter and her husband are now pressuring my aunt to give them another 150 sqm from the remaining land as “payment” for the taxes. But from what I understand, the previous discussion was that they would temporarily shoulder the taxes first, while the other siblings would reimburse their share later once they had stable jobs.

My aunt disagreed and instead offered another property located sa bukid, but they refused and kept insisting on the 150 sqm near the highway.

Honestly, I understand that the daughter helped during a very difficult time, and hospital bills are not cheap. But at the same time, 150 sqm near a highway sounds like it could be worth WAY more than ₱85k.

What do you guys think? Is the daughter being practical/fair because of all the expenses she paid? Or is my aunt being pressured into giving up too much land while she’s already vulnerable and financially weak?
