Thanks

Hello, my name is Victor and I have been brought up by my maternal grandmother for the past 20 years. My grandmother has 5 children and she wanted to stay with her youngest son for the rest of her life but he passed away in 2019 in a car accident which triggered alzhiemer for my grandmother and she decided to stay with me, my wife and my mother ( who is her eldest daughter). In 2021 my grandmother’s house went into redevelopment and she received a big sum of money, let’s say Xwon. She decided to use that money together with me and invest into a property in my name as she said that she wants to spend the rest of her life with us. By this time she had started showing serious signs of alzhiemer and we also got medical report for same. She has been staying with me and my family for over 2 years after my uncle’s death and was determined to make an investment with me. After we made the investment her other children who never took care of her physically or financially are threatening me of filing a suit for deceiving my grandmother and using all her money and is claiming it as an inheritance theft. Grandmother is still alive and they want to share her inheritance immediately by selling this investment. Kindly advice what can I do in such situation. Can they file a criminal suit of fraud against me and send me to prison?

What is the spousal deduction? A US Citizen who did not live in Korea passed away. He left some personal properties in South Korea. The spouse, a US Citizen, who does not live in Korea, is the sole beneficiary. I read that upto 3 billion won can be used as the spousal deduction. Is that correct?
