Inheritance Tax Filing and Asset Management in Korea
A U.S. citizen father, who had been residing in Korea for long-term medical treatment, passed away. His heirs, all U.S. citizens with no Korean language skills, inherited a redeveloped apartment in central Seoul and financial assets. The large law firm initially handling the case failed to communicate effectively in English during the inheritance tax audit. Taking over the case, we established a seamless communication strategy and provided personalized guidance. Despite the audit period extending by a year due to additional assets discovered in the U.S., we successfully completed the process. We continue to manage the inherited assets in Korea and provide real-time support via WhatsApp.
Sale of Unlisted Shares and Overseas Remittance
A Korean-American businessman, A, wanted to sell his unlisted shares in a Korean company but was unsure about tax obligations and the remittance process. Given the differences between Korean and U.S. tax laws, he faced confusion on where and how to report the transaction. By reviewing the Korea-U.S. tax treaty, we clarified that capital gains from unlisted shares were tax-exempt in Korea but taxable in the U.S. We facilitated the proper tax filing in Korea and structured the remittance process to ensure a smooth and tax-efficient transfer of funds to the U.S.
Overseas Remittance of Real Estate Sale Proceeds
B, a U.S. citizen, sold inherited real estate in Seoul but struggled to transfer the proceeds to the U.S. due to complex remittance regulations in both countries. Large transactions required approval from the Korean tax authorities and financial institutions. We analyzed Korea’s foreign exchange regulations and U.S. remittance laws to develop an optimal solution. By preparing all necessary documents and guiding B through the process, we ensured a secure and timely transfer of funds to the U.S.
Business Inheritance and Tax Compliance in Korea and Vietnam
C’s parents, who owned businesses in both Korea and Vietnam, suddenly passed away, leaving him uncertain about how to handle the inheritance and tax filings. We conducted a thorough business valuation in compliance with the tax laws of both countries and facilitated the necessary inheritance tax filings. By swiftly completing the inheritance procedures in Korea and advising on the legal processes in Vietnam, we ensured a smooth succession of the businesses without unnecessary financial burden.
Resolving a 20-Year-Old Unregistered Land Inheritance Case
D, a U.S. citizen, recently discovered that he was entitled to inherit land in Korea from his grandparents, who passed away 20 years ago. However, the land had never been officially registered under his name, and the inheritance process involved two U.S.-based grandchildren and a permanent resident heir, complicating the legal procedures. We completed the overdue inheritance registration and resolved the unfiled inheritance tax issues. By providing detailed guidance on how Korean inheritance laws apply to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, we successfully secured the legal ownership and management of the inherited land.
