The Servicemember Relief Act Article 22

In the case that a petitioner deceases after the petition is filed, the heir(s) or other people legally entitled to succeed the rights or legal interests derived from the original administrative disposition may declare the assumption of the petition. However, if there is no legal interest derived from the petition decision or the petition is prohibited from being assumed due to its nature, the assumption is barred.In the event of the assumption stipulated in the preceding paragraph, the certification of the succession of right shall be submitted to the Protection Committee within 30 days from the occurrence of the succession fact.Where the person entitled to the assumption stipulated in Paragraph 1 fails to declare the assumption of a petition, the Protection Committee, upon being aware of the grounds for assumption, shall notify the person to assume the petition. If the person still fails to declare the assumption after the notification, the Protection Committee may order the person to continue the petition.
