One judgment” he explained.
Roh said, “Even if we respect the court’s circumstances as much as possible, it is practically impossible to lose the right to complete inheritance to parents who have abandoned their children unless the Goo Hara Act is revised. In that respect, it is imperative to pass the Act.” .
The key point of the Goo Hara Act is to widen the scope of the law so that those who neglect the role of parents or children will not receive an inheritance. Article 1004 of the current Civil Code is recognized as a reason for disqualification of inheritance only in limited cases, such as murdering a family member or forging a will, and adding “a person who has remarkably neglected the obligation to protect or support the immediate existence or profanity”. Just do it.
