Yoon & Yang LLC said on the 21st that it published "So that family does not become strangers" to help with prudent asset succession, as the so-called "era of great inheritance" arrives with large-scale assets held by older adults moving to the next generation.
"So that family does not become strangers" is an introductory book that broadly covers overall asset succession, including inheritance, gifts, and trusts, and is structured so anyone can easily understand it. It was co-authored by inheritance and trust specialist attorney Yang Sora, who has handled chaebol family inheritances and financial institutions' testamentary substitute trusts, and Yoon & Yang LLC Asset Management Center senior experts Bae Jeong-sik and Park Hyun-jeong, who pioneered the domestic trust market by launching the financial sector's first testamentary substitute trust at Hana Bank.
From basic tools such as statutory inheritance and wills to asset management using trusts, global inheritance, corporate succession, insurance claim right trusts, dementia-preparedness property management, retirement planning for single-person households, and planned giving, the book examines from multiple angles the problems families actually face today.
In particular, rather than recommending a specific system as the correct answer, it explains optimal choices tailored to a family's property, relationships, and circumstances through real-world cases. It clearly distinguishes when wills and trusts are needed and presents practical standards from preparations during one's lifetime to post-inheritance procedures.
For parents approaching inheritance, the book details how to properly leave their intentions, and for children, when and how to prepare for their parents' later years and inheritance. It goes beyond the technique of simply passing on property to show how to preserve family harmony by properly organizing the legacy left behind.
Attorney Yang Sora said, "This new book is a practical guide for beginners who feel overwhelmed by inheritance, trusts, and organizing an estate." Senior experts Bae Jeong-sik and Park Hyun-jeong said, "We recommend this to parents and children considering smooth asset succession without disputes, single-person households, and even practitioners in related industries—everyone who wants to protect their own and their family's assets."
Yim Myeong-su, managing partner at Yoon & Yang LLC, said, "Through the publication of this practical asset succession handbook, Yoon & Yang aims to provide tangible help so clients can preserve both assets and relationships across generations."
The Yoon & Yang LLC Asset Management Center published "The art of inheritance" in 2015 and "Inheritance and gifting in one volume" in 2025. The new book "So that family does not become strangers" is available at major online and offline bookstores.
