What Is Beopmusa (법무사) — judicial scrivener?
Definition
A licensed specialist who handles the title-registration paperwork at closing.
A 법무사 (judicial scrivener) prepares and files the documents that transfer and register property title at closing. They calculate and remit the acquisition tax and handle the registry filing for a modest fee.
Why it matters
Using a 법무사 is the norm for a purchase, and especially helpful for foreigners, because registration must be done correctly and on time. Their fee is a small but real line item in the all-in cost.
