Relocation registration of ownership
There are many "causes of registration" when it comes to registration of transfer of ownership. We handle everything from the preparation of documents to the application for registration based on the various causes, such as sale and purchase, inheritance, gift before death, division of property in divorce, acquisition by prescription, and so on.
Preservation registration of ownership
Registration of representation alone is not sufficient to assert (oppose) ownership against a third party, and in order to assert ownership, it is necessary to register the preservation of ownership.
Inheritance・Will
When a person passes away and inheritance occurs, his/her property is transferred to his/her heirs. The property to be inherited is diverse, including cash, deposits, stocks, etc. However, in order to change the name of real estate such as land and buildings in the inherited property, it is necessary to register the transfer of ownership as a result of the inheritance.
The procedure for changing the name of real estate due to inheritance is generally called "inheritance registration," and there is no deadline by which inheritance registration must be completed. However, it is recommended to register the inheritance as early as possible to avoid problems later on.
Even if an inheritance has not occurred, no one knows when it will happen. If you have a will or voluntary guardianship in place in advance, your will can be reflected no matter what happens.
Inherited assets will include not only positive assets such as cash, real estate, and savings, but also negative assets such as mortgages and debts. To ensure that heirs do not suffer from the debts of the decedent, the Civil Code provides three methods of inheritance.
1. Unconditional acceptance: The most common method of inheritance, in which all of the property of the decedent is inherited.
2. Renunciation of inheritance:This is a method of renouncing the decedent's property and not inheriting any property.
3. Qualified acceptance: This is a method of accepting inheritance on the condition that the debt is repaid within the scope of the inherited property.

Agreement on division of inheritance・
Renunciation of inheritance
When an inheritance occurs, if the deceased person left a legally valid will, the inheritance will be made in accordance with the terms of that will.
In the absence of a will, the Civil Code provides that each heir is legally entitled to his or her share of the inheritance (called the "statutory share in inheritance"). However, if all heirs hold a discussion (called an "agreement on division of inheritance") on who will inherit which property and in what proportion, they may inherit in a different proportion than the statutory share in inheritance.
In the majority of cases, an inheritance registration is also done by drawing up a written agreement on the division of inheritance and changing the name of the heirs.Basically, assuming that the agreement on the division of property has been reached, a written agreement on the division of property should be prepared in accordance with the contents of the agreement, signed and sealed by all heirs, and bound together with a certificate of seal impression.
If the agreement on the division of inheritance cannot be settled, there is also the method of mediation for the division of inheritance.If you have more negative assets than positive assets and wish to renounce inheritance, you can also renounce inheritance by petitioning the family court to renounce inheritance. If the renunciation of inheritance is accepted, you will be treated as if you were not an heir from the beginning of the inheritance, and you will not inherit either the positive or negative assets.
Handwritten will
Since the full text, date, and name are written in one's own handwriting and sealed to complete the stylistic requirements, it is often made by the testator without consulting a professional. However, at a later date, problems may arise in the interpretation of the text, and there are concerns about loss, falsification, and undiscovery. Also, failure to meet the requirements may invalidate the will itself.
Will by notarized document
The will is prepared at a notary public's office after the notary public confirms the will of the testator. Although there is some cost involved, the original will is kept at the notary public's office, so there is almost no risk of loss and little risk of the contents being leaked to a third party. Judicial scrivener drafts the will and meets with the notary public on your behalf. For those who have difficulty visiting a notary public's office, it is possible to have a notary public travel to the office to prepare the will.
