Seminar Overview

The seminar was held at JUSUN Law Firm's Seoul headquarters office and covered cases that must be addressed in international divorce and inheritance disputes, focusing on international inheritance disputes, international divorce property division, overseas inheritance and gifts, alimony and child custody issues in international divorce, transfer of assets overseas, forced heirship claims in Korea, and legal services for citizens and permanent residents. Various topics were discussed, including a comparative analysis of Korean and U.S. inheritance law, international inheritance issues, legal procedures related to inheritance, and tax matters.

Impressions from U.S. Attorney Daniel Yoon

Attorney Daniel Yoon said, "The knowledge and insights exchanged at the seminar are expected to greatly help future family law cases involving Koreans in the United States," and added, "The expertise and passion of JUSUN Law Firm's attorneys specializing in Korean inheritance and divorce were a great source of inspiration."

Opinion of Lead Attorney Yoon Ji-sang

Lead Attorney Yoon Ji-sang said, "Based on Attorney Daniel Yoon's rich experience and professional knowledge, he provided valuable information and strategies to Korean attorneys specializing in divorce and inheritance," and added, "Since disputes over assets located overseas can unfold in various ways around the timing of asset holding or division in divorce and inheritance cases, it is important to thoroughly review the laws of both countries in advance and prepare so as to minimize the possibility of disputes and proceed with litigation in a way that is favorable to the client."

Through this seminar, JUSUN Law Firm pledged to provide regular Korea-U.S. networking opportunities and to continue offering education and exchange opportunities to enhance client satisfaction and the expertise of its attorneys.
