1. The Client Who Turned to the Gumi Inheritance Attorney

The client who requested assistance from a Gumi inheritance attorney needed a suit to confirm the non-existence of a parent-child relationship and turned to a Gumi inheritance attorney at the Gumi office to obtain legal advice on inheritance.

The Background of the Client's Case

The background of the case, as identified by the Gumi inheritance attorney through a careful consultation with the client, is as follows.

The client had a husband whom she had married long ago, but because of her husband's infidelity, the two had lived apart for more than 30 years.

One day, upon checking, she found that three people she did not know were registered in her family register.

As it turned out, her husband had registered children he had with his mistress as the client's biological children without the client's consent.

Having learned of this only long afterward, the client, concerned that problems might arise in the inheritance process later, wished to set the record straight.

The client therefore turned to the Gumi inheritance attorney to request assistance with a suit to confirm the non-existence of a parent-child relationship.

What a Suit to Confirm the Non-Existence of a Parent-Child Relationship Is

A suit to confirm the non-existence of a parent-child relationship is a procedure to obtain legal confirmation that a parent-child relationship shown on the family relations register does not actually exist.

To obtain the court's confirmation through such a suit, solid evidence and a logical argument are needed.

Because there is a strong likelihood that the claim will be dismissed if it is not proven according to the standards the court requires, it is recommended to obtain the assistance of a Gumi inheritance attorney.

If you organize the evidence and litigation documents systematically with an inheritance attorney, including birth-related records and genetic testing, you may be able to obtain the court's confirmation quickly and correct the register.

The Client's Case as Organized by the Gumi Inheritance Attorney

After having children outside the marriage, the client's husband falsely registered their birth as if they were the client's children.

In this case, if the client dies, the children born outside the marriage are not her biological children and so are effectively not her heirs, but because they are registered as biological children on the family relations register, they may appear to be heirs.

Concerned about this, the client decided to proceed with a suit to confirm the non-existence of a parent-child relationship.

In practice, it is common for people, like the client, to bring a suit to confirm the non-existence of a parent-child relationship so that the inheritance process can proceed correctly.

2. The Assistance Provided by the Gumi Inheritance Attorney

The Gumi attorney reviewed the past documents and examined in detail how the defendants, who were not the client's biological children, had come to be registered in the client's family register.

The attorney then provided assistance as follows, helping the client obtain a judgment of non-existence from the court.

The Gumi Attorney Argued That There Was a Legal Interest in Seeking Confirmation

The defendants are children of the client's husband born outside the marriage.

Accordingly, although the client has no parent-child relationship with the defendants, she had lived for years suffering personal distress because of the family relations register, which had been incorrectly recorded.

The Gumi inheritance attorney therefore argued that the client had a legal interest in seeking confirmation of the non-existence of the parent-child relationship.

The Gumi Attorney Persuaded the Defendants to Undergo Genetic Testing

The Gumi attorney persuaded the defendants, and the parties agreed to undergo genetic testing.

The attorney then submitted the result showing that no biological parent-child relationship was established, proving the non-existence of the parent-child relationship.

3. Through the Gumi Inheritance Attorney's Assistance, Confirmation of Non-Existence Was Obtained

Accepting the Gumi inheritance attorney's arguments, the court confirmed that no parent-child relationship existed between the client and the defendants.

The client could then look forward to a correct inheritance process in the future.
