ClassHankyul 법무법인(유한) 클라스한결

As death is inevitable, issues involving inheritance are also inevitable. ClassHankyul utilizes its expertise to help testators plan the inheritance of their property prior to their death and helps heirs to secure favorable outcomes in an amiable, efficient manner.

In order to prevent a testator’s property from being distributed in a manner contrary to his or her will, or situations where the property is not adequately delivered to the heir, it is recommended that professional legal assistance be engaged when preparing a will. To prevent disputes among heirs, such as suits for the return of the legal reserve of the inheritance property, a will should take into account factors such as the overall size of the inheritance property and measures to reduce inheritance taxes. Preparing such a will allows the achievement of multiple important goals, including the distribution of the testator’s property according to his or her will, prevention of discordance among family members, and saving on taxes.

Furthermore, a person who has suddenly become an heir due to an unexpected death of the testator may find himself or herself in a myriad of complex issues, including death registration, recovery of inheritance property, payment of inheritance taxes and registration of inheritance, necessitating the help of a legal professional. In particular, if you are unable to receive the distribution of inheritance property due your status as an heir, you must contact a family law attorney as soon as possible to ensure the lawful exercise of your rights.
