When assets are held in the United States, Korea, or other jurisdictions, or when the decedent or heirs maintain nationality or residence in more than one country, estate matters often cannot be resolved within a single legal system. The applicable law and procedural requirements may vary depending on the decedent’s nationality and habitual residence, the heirs’ place of residence, and the location of the assets.

Where overseas real estate, financial accounts, or corporate interests are involved, proceedings may need to be conducted separately or in parallel across multiple jurisdictions.

The firm handles probate proceedings and related disputes, and provides legal guidance concerning the transfer and administration of overseas assets as well as basic asset structuring considerations during lifetime.
