Documenting wallet moves across Korean cities
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.
