Chungnam, 27,000 Users Over 26 Years of 'Finding Ancestral Land' Service

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Over the past 26 years, 27,516 local residents in Chungnam have received information through the ‘Finding Ancestral Land’ service, with the land area provided amounting to 273㎢, which is 60 times the size of Yeouido.

According to Chungnam Province on the 4th, the ‘Finding Ancestral Land’ service began in Chungnam in 1996. This service has played a role in locating the deceased’s land ownership status and land location when the decedent neglected property management or suddenly passed away due to unforeseen accidents.

In Chungnam last year, 5,899 residents received information on 12㎢ (10,453 parcels) through the ‘Finding Ancestral Land’ service. This indicates that the related service has contributed to protecting the property rights of local residents.

To apply for the service, heirs must prepare their own ID card and documents proving heirship such as a family relation certificate, basic certificate, or family register, and visit the civil service office of the city/province or city/county/district office near their residence regardless of the land location.

The inquiry results are provided immediately through the smart national land information ‘K-Geo Platform.’ Additionally, land and collective buildings owned by the individual can be checked on the same platform under the ‘Find My Land Service’ with only a public authentication certificate.

Ko Jae-seong, head of the Land Management Division of the province, said, “Although the ‘Finding Ancestral Land’ service has been provided for 26 years, there may still be descendants unaware of the related service,” and added, “The province will continue to actively promote the service to help residents manage their property.”
