When a young daughter died of cancer, the'Second Goo Hara' incident occurred in which her birth mother, who appeared 28 years later, received billions of insurance money and a miscarriage.



The birth mother, the sole heir, also filed a lawsuit claiming that the bereaved family paid for hospital and funeral expenses with the deceased's card because it was not enough to take all of the daughter's property.



Some point out that laws need to be put in place to limit inheritance of birth parents who have not fulfilled their parenting obligations.



According to the legal profession, A (55) filed a lawsuit against the stepmother and half-brother of his daughter, Kim (29), who died in April, claiming the return of unfair income for more than 55 million won used in her daughter's check card and account. It was submitted to the Eastern District Law.



Mr. Kim died last February while undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with gastric cancer.



It is known that the birth mother, A, had not even contacted him except for a year after Kim was born.



Upon hearing the news of her daughter's death, Mr. A suddenly contacted the stepmother and half-brother who had been caring for Mr. Kim and asked to "share the death insurance money."



After reporting his death, knowing that he was the sole heir, he took 150 million won, including death insurance, severance pay, and rent for the room where Mr. Kim lived.



According to the current civil law that stipulates the inheritance system, Mr. A, who is a direct descendant of Mr. Kim, can inherit all of the assets left by Mr. Kim without restrictions.



This is because Kim's father, who has half the inheritance rights, died several years ago.



Moreover, after the death of her daughter, Mr. A even filed a lawsuit saying that 50 million won worth of hospital treatment and funeral expenses, such as hospital treatment and funeral expenses, paid by the stepmother and half-brother from her daughter's account were her property, and that they were unfairly stolen.



Mr. Kim's stepmother insisted in the court that it was "a situation where he quit his job and was hung up on sick care, but suddenly became a thief." However, it is difficult to win against Mr. A, who has inheritance rights under civil law.



Knowing this, the court also held an extraordinary adjustment date twice, and it is reported that the trial ended after Mr. A agreed to pay less than 10 million won, a part of the jeonse deposit, to the bereaved family.



According to the bereaved family, after being diagnosed with cancer, Kim said to the people around him, "I'm worried that my property will be inherited by my mother," and "I want the insurance and retirement benefits to go to my family now."



However, it was not valid because it was not a notarized will, and Kim's stepmother, who was not a legal heir, was unable to file a lawsuit for contributions or division of inherited property.



Mr. Kim's survivor's lawyer said, "There are no regulations in the current law to exclude birth parents who have not fulfilled their parenting obligations from inheritance," he said. "There are many cases where the bereaved family loses or applies moral responsibility to reach agreement." .



Earlier, singer Goo Hara's older brother made a petition for legislation to enact the so-called ‘Goo Hara Act’, saying that his mother, who abandoned young Goo and ran away from home, wants to take Gu’s inheritance.



The Goo Hara Act was canceled in the 20th National Assembly, but the Democratic Party Rep. Seo Young-gyo again initiated it in the 21st National Assembly.
