Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney | A Seoul Attorney Who Helped a Client Report a Mother's Death
The client who sought out a Seoul civil litigation attorney discovered, while preparing to report the death of the client's mother, that there was a problem with the client's family register, and the client was considering civil litigation to resolve it.
1. The Client's Situation
The client, who requested a consultation with a Seoul civil litigation attorney, discovered a significant error in the client's birth records while preparing to report the death of the client's mother, who had recently passed away.
The client had been registered in the family register of the father's wife from before his remarriage, rather than that of the client's biological mother.
Because the client could properly report the mother's death only after correcting the family register, the client came to a Seoul attorney and requested a consultation regarding civil litigation.

A Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney Explains the Need for a Suit to Confirm a Biological Parent-Child Relationship
A suit to confirm a biological parent-child relationship is a lawsuit to legally establish the parent-child relationship between a child and a parent.
In the client's case, the relationship with the actual biological mother had to be confirmed, and at the same time the non-existence of a parent-child relationship with the mother listed in the family register had to be confirmed.
The Seoul civil litigation attorney proposed that the client pursue both a suit to confirm the biological parent-child relationship and a suit to confirm its non-existence together.
A suit to confirm the non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship is a procedure to obtain legal confirmation that the parent-child relationship recorded in the family relations register does not actually exist.
If a parent-child relationship has been incorrectly recorded in the family relations register contrary to the biological relationship, it can be corrected through this lawsuit.
A Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney Explains the Issues in the Case
In the client's situation, it was necessary to prove the relationship with the actual biological mother while at the same time clarifying the absence of any connection with the mother listed in the family register.
However, because both the client's biological mother and the mother listed in the family register had passed away, there was no direct interested party who could serve as the opposing party in the lawsuit.
The Seoul civil litigation attorney decided to file the lawsuit by designating the prosecutor as the opposing party, in accordance with the law.
2. The Assistance Provided by the Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney
Before proceeding with the client's lawsuit, the Seoul civil litigation attorney organized the materials related to the client's case and prepared and filed a complaint containing the following.
A Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney Proves the Biological Relationship Through DNA Test Results
Immediately after the mother's death, the client collected hair samples and conducted a DNA test.
The Seoul attorney submitted the test results to the court and argued that a biological parent-child relationship existed between the client and the biological mother.
A Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney Submits Materials Explaining the Opposing Party in the Lawsuit
Because both the client's biological mother and the mother listed in the family register had passed away, the client had no choice but to file the lawsuit with the prosecutor as the opposing party.
The Seoul attorney clearly explained this and emphasized the necessity of the lawsuit.
A Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney Emphasizes the Delay in the Death Report Caused by the Family Register Error
Due to the recording error in the family register, the report of the biological mother's death was being delayed.
The Seoul attorney argued that the error could affect not only the death report but also the subsequent inheritance process, and persuasively conveyed the need for a prompt judgment.
3. The Result of the Seoul Civil Litigation Attorney's Assistance: All Claims Granted
Thanks to the Seoul civil litigation attorney's submission of evidence and arguments, the client was able to obtain a decision granting all claims.
The client obtained confirmation of the biological parent-child relationship with the biological mother and confirmation that no biological parent-child relationship existed with the mother listed in the family register.
As a result, the client was able to correct the error in the family register and properly report the mother's death.
