Relocating from Seoul to Gumi — or sending a backup to a parent in Busan — is a custody event, not a footnote.

What to write down

  • Date of move
  • Items transported — device only, backup only, or both
  • Transport method — personal carry, registered post, family handoff
  • Who had physical access during transit
  • Condition check on arrival — seals intact, envelopes unopened

Why lawyers ask

Estate and tax advisors in South Korea increasingly request timelines when offshore and domestic holdings mix. A city move without a dated entry looks like a gap in control narrative.

Keep entries factual. “Device A arrived in Gumi office drawer, 14 March 2024, transported by holder” is enough.
