Legal Support for International Clients (English Available)

Based on the topics discussed during the seminar, our firm actively provides legal support for individuals living in Australia who hold assets in Japan (real estate, bank accounts, etc.).

Navigating Japanese inheritance laws and drafting valid wills can be challenging from overseas.

We specialize in:

(1) Drafting Japanese Wills (including Notarial Wills) for international clients;

(2) Estate Planning for assets located in Japan;

(3) English Support: We offer seamless communication in English, ensuring that non-Japanese speaking spouses and family members fully understand the process without language barriers.

If you are considering estate planning centered on drafting a will in Japan, please feel free to contact us for a consultation.

We can arrange online meetings or in-person appointments during your visits to Japan.
