Our legal Services
1. Registration of Real Estate and Corporation
1-1) Registration of Real Estate
 The real estate registration system is governed by the Real Property Registration Act. Properties are registered in the real estate registry which gives an overview of the property and the property's rights. The contents of the registry can be reviewed at the Legal Affairs Bureau. The registry consists of the two sections, the description of the property and the rights of the property. The description of the property mainly includes the location, the area and the type of land, the gross floor area, the structure and the number of stories of the building. The rights of the property refers to the contents of ownership, superficies, mortgage, fixed-mortgage and any other rights of the real estate. We will provide wide variety of services to our clients through their Real Estates' transactions in which we will be qualified to act as an attorney for legal protection of their property rights. For this purpose, we are responsible for preparing and submitting the legal applications for the registration to the Legal Affairs Bureau and conduct the property registration procedures on behalf of them. For instance, the following registration procedures belong to a part of our services:
  a) Preservation of Ownership at the time of newly building a house, facility, premise and so on
  b) Transfer of Ownership at the time of buying/selling the real estate
  c) Establishment of the (fixed-) mortgage for bank loan payable
  d) Extinguishment of the (fixed-) mortgage for complete payment of bank loan payable
  e) Modification of description of rights of the property due to change of name and address of the owner
1-2) Registration of Corporation
 The corporate registration system is governed by the Commercial Registration Act, which aims to maintain the credibility of trade names and companies and to contribute to the safe and smooth conduct of transactions with the notification in public of the corporate matters in the registry. In the same way of the real estate registry, the corporate registry gives an overview of the registered matters, which can be reviewed at the Legal Affairs Bureau. The description of the registered matters therein includes trade name, location of head office, scoop of business, paid-in capital, number of issued shares, officers, and so on. Under this Act, companies are obligated to conduct the registration procedure in case that the registered matters are changed. We are entitled to do the said procedure to the Legal Affairs Bureau on behalf of the company and therefore provide sufficient legal advice for their preparation pursuant to the change of the registered matters. For instance, the following registration procedures belong to a part of our services:
  a) Incorporation of a joint-stock company, limited liability company (LLC) and other legal entities
  b) Establishment of a subsidiary company and/or a branch office for foreign company

3. Inheritance and will
3-1) Domestic Inheritance
  Under the Civil Code, inheritance shall commence upon the death of the decedent. From the time of commencement of inheritance, heir(s) shall succeed blanket rights and duties attached to the property of the decedent. In case of plural heirs, they shall be succeeded according to his/her share in inheritance. Therefore, each of the heirs shall be legally identified in accordance with the official family registry and is entitled to divide the inherited property through Partition of Estates except that it is, in principle, prohibited by the decedent's will. If an heir intends to renounce inheritance, he/she shall make a statement to that effect to the family court within three months of the time he/she has knowledge that there has been a commencement of inheritance for him/her.
3-2) International inheritance
 International inheritance situations include the following cases but are not limited to:
  ・Foreign nationals who pass away while in Japan
  ・One or more inheritors currently living in overseas
  ・One or more pieces of inherited property are overseas
  ・A person living outside of Japan owns property in Japan
 The international inheritance entails understanding of the governing law to be applied because the set of national laws should use in each case depends of factors like nationality, residency, and location of property.
