Some Issues concerning Claim for Payment of the Amount Equivalent to One s Share of Inheritance

This study focused on two issues about article 1014 of the Korean Civil Code(KCD). First issue is whether KCD article 1014 applies even if the mother who is an inheritee has children out of wedlock. About this point, the Korean Supreme Court recently denied the application of KCD article 1014. However, it is difficult to agree. It does not matter whether the affiliation or trial has retroactive effect or due effect. Children out of wedlock should not be treated differently depending on whether it is a father-child relationship or mother-child relationship. It is also difficult to accept that the interests of third parties are treated differently. KCD article 1014 is simply based on the fact that confirmation as an heir was behind in time. On the other hand, regarding the legal nature of KCD Article 1014, precedents have been viewed as a kind of right to claim for recovery of inheritance. However, this is also not valid. KCD article 1014 is not directly related to transaction stability. It is reasonable to treat KCD article 1014 as a claim for division of inherited property.
