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

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.
