 | * | First, we confirm whether or not the deceased one has left a will. If a will is discovered, we will start with the proceedings to execute the will. | | | * | When a will does not exist and partition discussions do not go smoothly due to emotional entanglements between the heirs, we suggest that you entrust the matter to professionals such as attorneys. Discussions are easily settled when calm third parties come in between, and also, since there are cases where you will have to enter arbitration or lawsuits, so it is best to be ready for this, by having an attorney to consult. |
| | * | Other than the above, we can also give advice on legal matters concerning inheritance. In some cases when the inheritee had a large amount of debts, it may be better to renounce the right to succession. In addition, even if a will exists, it is possible to make claims for abatement of distributive shares if the heirs do not feel comfortable with the contents of the will, or if there were any special contributions that can be legally recognized, we can also go into negotiation or file legal actions in your part. |

 | * | Before a dispute occurs among the family concerning inheritable assets, we will give advice to peaceful partition, from a third party’s point of view. | | | * | Of course, we will also be ready to proceed with inheritance registrations for real estate ownership transfers, etc. based on wills or partition discussions. Other than this, we can also help with procedures to acquire family registers, changing bank account names, and other various troublesome work. |

 | * | Firstly, we will have to ascertain every asset and debt in possession of the deceased. Since inheritance taxes are calculated based on the assets and debts as of the time of death, we will also have to do research on bank account balances and stock prices as of this time. | | | * | Next, the heirs will have to determine who is inheriting which property, concerning each asset and debt the inheritee owned. This is known as the “partition discussion”, to be held among all of the heirs. | | | * | Finally, we make an inheritance tax report, based on the above. Inheritance taxes must be reported and paid within 10 months from the next day of the inheritee’s death, and if this report was not done within the fixed time period, delinquency charges will be imposed, and you may not be able to receive the special measures which lead to a large reduction in taxes.
Entrusting a tax accountant will result in a succession of larger amounts of assets to your heirs.
