Civil Act Article 928 (Commencement of Guardianship of a Minor)

Where a minor has no person with parental authority, or where the person with parental authority is unable to exercise all or part of the parental authority pursuant to Article 924, Article 924-2, Article 925, or Article 927 (1), a guardian of the minor shall be appointed.

A minor who has no person with parental authority, or whose person with parental authority is unable to exercise the right of representation for legal acts and the right of property management, must have a guardian for the minor appointed.

Civil Act Article 931 (Designation of a Guardian of a Minor by Will, etc.)

(1) A parent who exercises parental authority over a minor may designate a guardian of the minor by will. Provided, that this shall not apply to a person with parental authority who has no right of representation for legal acts and no right of property management.

A parent who exercises parental authority over a minor may designate a guardian for the minor by will.

Civil Act Article 932 (Appointment of a Guardian of a Minor)

(1) Where there is no guardian of a minor designated under Article 931, the Family Court shall appoint a guardian of the minor ex officio or upon the request of the minor, a relative, an interested person, a prosecutor, or the head of a local government. The same shall apply where there ceases to be a guardian of the minor.

Where a parent exercising parental authority has not designated a guardian for the minor by will, a guardian may be appointed, and the client of the Suncheon family law attorney sought assistance in this case in order to become the appointed guardian.

3. The Suncheon family law attorney's assistance to the client

The Suncheon family law attorney provided the following assistance so that the client could be appointed as the guardian of a minor for his grandchild.

Family Law Attorney: Argument on the Death of the Client's Son

The client's son, that is, the grandson's father, had passed away.

The grandson's mother disappeared and completely cut off all contact with the client's grandson. Even if the grandson's mother is still alive somewhere, it is impossible to expect her to exercise parental authority.

In addition, there is no designated guardian for the client's grandson.

We argued that the client should be appointed as the minor guardian of his grandson.

Family Law Attorney: Argument on the Passive Assets of the Client's Son

The son of the client of the Suncheon family law attorney died, leaving behind a large amount of negative assets that far exceeded the positive assets.

Accordingly, in order to represent the grandson, who is the son's sole heir, in making a qualified acceptance of inheritance of the inherited property, the client came to file for the appointment of a guardian for the minor in this case.
