Attorney Yoon Ji-sang, Managing Partner, Appeared as Consultant on MBC 〈True Story Expedition Team〉 'Inheritance War'

— A dispute among four siblings over the large inheritance left by their mother, from an inheritance lawyer's perspective

Hello. This is Jongjae Law Firm.

On the MBC 〈True Story Expedition Team〉 broadcast on June 16, 2022, Attorney Yoon Ji-sang, Managing Partner of Jongjae Law Firm, appeared as a consultant, bringing his expertise as an inheritance law specialist.

'Inheritance War' — A dispute that unfolds under the name of family

That day's broadcast covered an inheritance dispute in which four siblings fiercely fought over the large inheritance left by their mother. After parents pass away, conflicts over property among the remaining family members are by no means rare in real life. In fact, the closer the relationship, the more deeply emotions become entangled, and once a relationship goes awry, it is rarely restored.

In response to the MBC production team's interview request, Managing Partner Yoon Ji-sang offered his legal opinion as an inheritance law specialist. His experience personally hearing numerous inheritance cases while serving as presiding judge at the Seoul Family Court and Daejeon Family Court was fully reflected in this consultation as well.

What You Must Know in Inheritance Disputes

Inheritance disputes are not simply a matter of arithmetic—dividing property. Forced share, contribution, special benefit, claim for division of inherited property—each legal doctrine is intricately intertwined, and the outcome can vary greatly depending on how each issue is framed.

Inheritance cases are often assigned to general divisions rather than specialized panels, so even judges do not easily gain deep exposure to them. It is precisely at this point that the strategy of an inheritance law specialist with extensive practical experience makes the difference between victory and defeat. Identifying the issues the court focuses on accurately and preparing evidence from multiple angles to match them. This is the core of inheritance disputes.
