What Belongs in a Household Proof Pack

When heirs open a proof pack, they should encounter a table of contents—not a shoebox. After hundreds of assemblies in Gyeonggi, we group household proof into eight standing sections.

1. Identity and authority

Copies of passports, family register extracts where applicable, and letters granting trustee authority. We never retain originals; certified copies with issue dates suffice.

2. Property and land

Registration certificates, recent tax assessments, lease agreements, and photographs of boundary markers when old surveys reference physical features.

3. Banking and brokerage

Account opening confirmations, recent statements (typically 12 months), and wire transfer receipts for significant movements. We cross-reference account numbers against a master list.

4. Insurance

Policy schedules, renewal notices, and claim correspondence. Expired policies stay in an appendix if they might affect continuity disputes.

5. Offline wallets and digital custody

Hardware device inventory, seed-storage location map (not the seed itself), exchange withdrawal histories, and signed attestation that devices were viewed but keys were not copied.

6. Precious metals and collectibles

Assay certificates, purchase receipts, storage agreements, and photographs of items in allocated storage.

7. Business interests

Share registers, partnership agreements, and recent financial statements when the household holds private company stakes.

8. Cross-reference and custody log

A single sheet listing every item in the pack, last verification date, and who prepared the section.

Gaps are noted explicitly—“assay certificate for 2019 bar missing”—rather than omitted. That transparency prevents heirs from assuming silence means completeness.
