Gwanak-gu Ancestral Land Retrieval Service Receives 'Perfect' Evaluation

A total of 2,140 people applied for the Ancestral Land Search service in the first half of this year, and 608 of them were helped to find 2,217 parcels (2.12 million ㎡) of land

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is providing the 'Ancestor Land Search Service' to help residents exercise their land property rights, receiving great response from the residents.

The 'Ancestor Land Search Service' is a free service that locates land owned by ancestors or the individual, which is difficult to identify due to unexpected accidents or negligence in property management, through the national information system.

An official from the district stated, "In the first half of this year, a total of 2,140 people applied for the Ancestor Land Search Service, and among them, 608 people were helped to find 2,217 parcels of land (2.12 million ㎡)."

Applications can be made by the landowner themselves or the property heirs. If the decedent died before 1960, the head of the household can apply; if the death occurred after January 1, 1960, the spouse or direct descendants can apply.

Required documents include the applicant's ID and the deceased's family register copy (for those who died after 2008, a basic certificate and family relation certificate), and by visiting the cadastral department on the first floor of Gwanak-gu Office in person to apply, the existence of the land can be immediately confirmed.

Also, residents curious about their own property (land and apartments) can access the 'See:Real' real estate information portal site, log in with a certified certificate, and use the 'Find My Land Service' to check.

Mayor Park Junhee said, "The Ancestor Land Search Service has great significance in protecting residents' property rights by finding land that was previously unknown," and added, "We will continue to promote this service so that heirs can rightfully exercise their property rights."
