‘상속법 개정을 위한 전문가 설문조사’를 통해 살펴본 상속의 승인 및 포기 제도의 개선방안

In this article, I reviewed the results of an expert survey on the revision of the acceptance and renunciation of inheritance. Part 5, Chapter 1, Section 4 of the Civil Act, 'the Acceptance and Renunciation of Inheritance' is largely divided into four categories: 'General Provisions', 'Absolute Acceptance', 'Qualified Acceptance', and 'Renunciation'. In the questionnaire to collect opinions on the need for revision of articles on acceptance and renunciation of inheritance and the direction of the revision, the survey questions were prioritized in respect of this organization of the Civil Code, ① Period for Acceptance and Renunciation, ② Absolute Acceptance, ③ Qualified Acceptance, ④ Renunciation, divided into four themes. A separate question was prepared to ask for opinions. In order to confirm the experts' perception of the fundamental structure of our inheritance law and to secure the direction for future revision, a separate question was prepared asking for opinions on the ⑤ structure of the current inheritance law, which is the principle of 'Absolute Acceptance'.
