Gyeonggi-do Helped Over 40,000 People Exercise Property Rights by Finding Ancestral Land Last Year

Gyeonggi Province provided land information covering 114㎢, which is 39 times the area of Yeouido, to over 40,000 people last year through the Ancestral Land Search service.

The Ancestral Land Search service is an administrative service that helps find lost ancestral land by searching for land registered under the names of deceased ancestors.

Land register details registered under the names of ancestors were provided to descendants who have legal inheritance rights. To use the Ancestral Land Search service, documents proving the death of the person being searched and documents proving the applicant's inheritance rights (such as the family relation certificate, basic certificate, or the removal from family register of the person being searched) are required.

Additionally, with just an ID card, individuals can also check land registered under their own name, allowing them to verify land ownership.

Applications can be made by visiting the cadastral-related departments of city, county, or district offices nationwide or online at kgeop.go.kr.

Gyeonggi Province also received about 6,000 requests from public institutions for various administrative tasks such as investigation support, fine collection, and military service reduction, providing land information covering approximately 42,000㎢.

Kim Yongjae, Director of the Land Information Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The Ancestral Land Search is a service that helps residents exercise their rightful property rights," adding, "We will continue to do our best to provide faster and more accurate land information."
