Bucheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will continue to promote the 'Finding Ancestral Land' service this year.

This service helps heirs exercise their property rights by allowing them to check the nationwide land ownership status for free in cases where parents or others suddenly pass away or neglect property management, leaving heirs unaware of additional inherited assets.

Last year, 7,563 people applied, and among them, 1,940 confirmed the ownership status of 5,942 land parcels.

Applicants must bring their own ID and documents proving heirship such as a family relation certificate, basic certificate, or a copy of the family register, and apply in person at the Land Information Division of the City Hall. For those who died before December 31, 1959, the head of the household heir can apply, and for those who died on or after January 1, 1960, the spouse or direct descendants can apply.

Additionally, when reporting a death at administrative welfare centers or resident support centers, applicants can request the 'Integrated Property Inquiry Service' to receive property inquiry results via text message or mail.

The city also utilizes the 'Finding Ancestral Land' service to verify the presence of assets for bankruptcy applicants and their families in relation to court bankruptcy declarations.

Meanwhile, if you do not know the exact lot number of land you own, you can verify your ownership of land and collective buildings through the 'Find My Land Service' by authenticating yourself with a digital certificate at See:Real (https://seereal.lh.or.kr).
