Cheongju Inheritance Attorney Assistance Case | Successful Division of Inherited Property With the Help of a Cheongju Inheritance Attorney

The client's father remarried when the client was young, and so the client had a stepmother.

However, the client had lived without any contact with the stepmother.

In the meantime, upon the father's death, the client, the client's older sister, and the stepmother became the statutory heirs. After completing the inheritance procedures, the client later learned that there was additional property belonging to the father and that the stepmother had inherited all of it.

Accordingly, the client wished to claim a division of inherited property against the stepmother in order to properly inherit the property, and so requested a consultation with an attorney handling division of inherited property.

🔗Division of inherited property refers to dividing the property of co-heirs according to their respective shares of inheritance where there are several heirs.

The property may be divided through agreement, but if agreement is difficult, the property must be divided by petitioning the family court for mediation and adjudication.

At this point, before proceeding with the petition, it is important to confirm the statutory order of inheritance under the Civil Act, identify the co-heirs, and accurately determine one's own share of the inherited property.

However, it may be difficult for an individual without sufficient legal knowledge to calculate and claim one's own share of the inherited property perfectly, so consulting a legal professional can be helpful.

In addition, once an agreement on the division of inherited property has been completed, it cannot, in principle, be carried out again, so it is recommended to respond strategically through a consultation with a professional from the outset.

The statutory share of inheritance of the other party, the client's stepmother, is identical to that of the client.

The other party, however, firmly argued that she had already received a substantial special benefit exceeding her statutory share of inheritance.

The Cheongju inheritance attorney calculated the client's statutory share of inheritance.

The attorney then submitted it together with a list of the inherited property, arguing that the other party should divide and transfer property equal to the client's statutory share of inheritance.

In this case, the client, who had belatedly learned that the stepmother had taken the father's property, sought to file a petition for adjudication on the division of the inherited property and reached out to the 🔗Cheongju attorney.

Reaching an agreement on the division of inherited property may not be easy, and if a petition for adjudication is filed, all co-heirs must participate, so the litigation may become prolonged.

In addition, conflicts of interest in the division of inherited property may intensify, so obtaining the help of a Cheongju inheritance attorney with extensive knowledge of and experience in inheritance law can be helpful.

At Daeryun Law Firm, an inheritance attorney provides direct assistance from the initial consultation through trial advocacy and post-judgment response, and depending on the matter, works closely with each practice group to resolve the case.
