Wills, Trusts, Estates & Probate


Planning for the future is never easy. In particular, if you live in a country with a different legal system or own assets abroad, the uncertainty becomes even greater.

Foreign nationals who reside or hold assets in Japan often have important questions, such as which country’s law will apply, whether a will prepared in their home country is valid in Japan, and how Japanese inheritance procedures actually work. Without proper planning, these uncertainties can place a heavy burden on surviving family members and may lead to unexpected tax issues, procedural delays, and even disputes.

Our firm provides legal support in wills, trusts, and estate planning matters involving Japan for foreign individuals and international families. We carefully analyze how Japanese law applies to your situation and how it interacts with the laws of other jurisdictions, and we provide advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

Whether you are considering preparing a will or a trust, reviewing an existing estate plan, facing an inheritance matter involving Japan, or coordinating estate planning between Japan and your home country, we are here to help. We are committed to supporting you with clear guidance and practical solutions so that you can move forward with confidence.
