...As of This Year, Information on 3,315 Parcels Covering 2.24 Million㎡ Provided to 2,084 People to Protect Property Rights

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it is operating the ‘Ancestor Land Search Service’ using the nationwide cadastral network (K-Geo Platform) for residents who want to know the status of land owned not only under their own name but also unregistered land and land owned by ancestors who suddenly passed away.

This project is also being used as a method to verify the presence of assets of bankruptcy applicants and their families in relation to court bankruptcy declarations. This year alone, the district provided land information on 3,315 parcels totaling approximately 2.24 million square meters to 2,084 people.

Applicants must be the landowner themselves or a legal heir, and the application fee is free. Applicants should prepare inheritance verification documents such as ▲family register copy ▲basic certificate ▲family relation certificate showing the ancestor’s death record and visit the district office’s Real Estate Information Division to apply. However, only the head of household successor can apply for ancestors who died before January 1, 1960, while for those who died after that date, all heirs with inheritance rights such as spouse or direct ascendants/descendants can apply.

In addition, to respond to the demand for non-face-to-face administrative services, the district has also launched the ‘Online Ancestor Land Search Service.’ It is possible to inquire about ancestors who died after January 1, 2008, and applications can be made by accessing the ‘Spatial Information Open Platform (V-World)’ or the ‘Government24’ website. After application, the determination of heir status and cadastral data inquiry are conducted, and the information can be viewed or printed within three days.

Furthermore, the district also provides the ‘Safe Inheritance One-Stop Service (Integrated Processing of Deceased’s Property Inquiry)’ at the local community centers, allowing heirs to check the deceased’s property such as land at once when reporting a death.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “The Ancestor Land Search Service allows you to quickly check unknown land online or offline with simple supporting documents, so please actively use it to protect your property rights.”
