Yeongdeungpo-gu Operates Ancestral Land Search Service This Year Again

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Yeongdeungpo-gu in Suwon announced on the 30th that it will continue to operate the 'Ancestral Land Search Service' this year, which received strong response from residents.

The 'Ancestral Land Search Service' is an administrative service that provides free inquiry results regarding individually owned land or ancestral land ownership registered in the land register for residents who have difficulty identifying ancestral land due to property management negligence or unforeseen accidents.

The application method is for the landowner or legal heir to prepare an identification card, a certified family register with the ancestor's death record, a basic certificate, and a family relationship certificate as evidence of inheritance, and apply at the nearest city or provincial government or city/county/district office.

Last year, Yeongdeungpo-gu provided land information for 4,484 parcels totaling 4,809,562 square meters to 4,974 applicants.

The district also provides the 'Hassle-free Inheritance One-Stop Service' that allows property inquiries for the deceased at the same time as death reporting, and also provides land ownership information for bankrupts or their families in relation to court bankruptcy declarations.

Ji Jun-man, head of the Comprehensive Civil Affairs Division at the district office, said "Applications for the 'Ancestral Land Search Service' increase every year after holidays, and we will ensure there are no inconveniences in using the service."
