This study aims to explore propriety of Korean Elective Share System in terms of its supportive function for children as inheritors. The Korean Elective Share System was introduced by amendment of Korean Civil Act in 1977. At the heart of this amendment was a concept of family community property, and it focused on the process of liquidation by decedent estate and supportive function of elective shares. Today, however, this argument lacks persuasion, especially for children. If there is a claim for the return of elective share, it even could result in invalidating decedent’s earnest act inter vivos. This is a serious restriction on the freedom of disposal of property. Furthermore, it threatens to destabilize the legal status of the other party of gifts inter vivos.
