1. The Client Who Sought the Wonju Inheritance Attorney
The client who sought the Wonju inheritance attorney sought a Wonju family and inheritance attorney in order to have a report of a special qualified acceptance of inheritance accepted through the attorney's assistance.
How the Client Came to Seek the Wonju Inheritance Attorney
The account of the client, who held a close consultation with the Wonju inheritance attorney, is as follows.
The decedent one day suffered an unexpected traffic accident and was urgently transported to a hospital, but ultimately passed away.
The client had lived together with the decedent, his parent, until childhood, but lived apart thereafter and therefore knew nothing about the decedent's financial affairs.
Some time later, the client belatedly learned that the decedent had carried out an individual rehabilitation procedure during his lifetime.
This meant that the total debt amounting to 20 million won would be inherited by the client in full.
The client came to be in a very bewildering situation because he had failed to report the renunciation of inheritance and the qualified acceptance within the period.
In order to seek advice from an attorney on 🔗qualified acceptance / renunciation of inheritance, the client sought the Wonju inheritance attorney.
2. The Qualified Acceptance Statute, as Explained by the Wonju Inheritance Attorney
Qualified acceptance is a method of inheritance under which the heir bears responsibility only within the scope of the inherited property and does not have to repay anything beyond that.
A special qualified acceptance refers to a situation in which a person made an unconditional acceptance of inheritance without knowing that the inherited debt exceeded the inherited property, and, upon belatedly learning that fact, makes a qualified acceptance.
(1) An heir may make an unconditional acceptance, a qualified acceptance, or a renunciation within 3 months from the date he or she becomes aware of the commencement of the inheritance. However, the family court may extend such period upon the request of an interested party or a prosecutor.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if an heir made an unconditional acceptance without being aware, through no gross negligence, within the period that the inherited debt exceeds the inherited property, the heir may make a qualified acceptance within 3 months from the date he or she becomes aware of that fact.
3. The Wonju Inheritance Attorney's Assistance
The Wonju inheritance attorney formed a task force centered on family and inheritance attorneys with extensive know-how and analyzed the case in depth.
Accordingly, the attorney established a step-by-step response plan and argued the following.
Wonju Inheritance Attorney's Argument ① Arguing That Contact With the Decedent Had Been Lost
The decedent's parents had both died long before the commencement of the inheritance, and the decedent's only sibling was working abroad at the time, with whom contact had been lost.
Therefore, the client was entirely unable to ascertain the decedent's precise financial status.
The attorney emphasized that, having received no contact or notice whatsoever from creditors, the client could not have had any thought that separate debts might exist.
Wonju Inheritance Attorney's Argument ② Arguing That There Was No Gross Negligence
The client had spent a long period without interacting with the decedent up until the time of the decedent's death, and was therefore unable to recognize the decedent's passive assets.
It was only long after the inheritance had commenced that the client learned that the decedent's passive assets exceeded the active assets.
The attorney emphasized that it was difficult to find any gross negligence on the part of the client in having failed to make the renunciation of inheritance and the qualified acceptance within the period.
4. The Court's Decision on the Wonju Inheritance Attorney's Argument
The court, accepting the Wonju inheritance attorney's argument, issued a decision to accept the report of the special qualified acceptance of inheritance.
In response, the client expressed deep gratitude to the Wonju inheritance attorney.
