Start with Korea's unified inheritance search and financial transaction inquiry to locate policies, then check debts before deciding how to proceed with inheritance.
Amid everything else after losing a family member, it's worth checking whether they had insurance policies no one remembers. The trouble is that the older a policy is, the less likely anyone recalls the company or the coverage. This list doesn't recommend any specific insurer or product โ it walks through the official search process offered by Korea's Financial Supervisory Service and Gov24.
Each item covers when to act, what to prepare, and easy-to-miss cautions. Results vary by contract date and product type, so treat what you find through these searches as a starting point, and confirm actual payout or inheritance status with the insurer, the policy terms, and a legal professional if needed. This reflects the process as of August 2026 โ screens and procedures may change afterward.
