The preparation of a will is to secure the testator's true intentions,Extremely strict provisions are set forth in the Civil Code.If the will does not conform to that formula, it will not be recognized as valid.
It must be legally valid, and furthermore, it must be drafted in such a way that the testator's wishes for his/her family can be conveyed, and that the remaining family members can accept those wishes and avoid disputes.

Please contact us via our contact form, phone or line.
We will ask you for an overview of your consultation.
Please specify your preferred date, time, and convenient interview location.
We will meet with you approximately one week after we receive your contact. (Except for urgent cases, the first meeting is one hour free of charge.)
At the initial meeting about the will, we will discuss the following information and discuss your wishes regarding the contents of your will.
- Differences in Inheritance Procedures with and without a Will
- Advantages and Disadvantages of a Will
- The format of wills (differences between a self-written will and a notarized will)
- Cost estimate for creation
We gather the following materials necessary to prepare a will Gathering accurate information is essential to creating a valid will that is legally valid and prevents disputes. It is not uncommon to discover unexpected facts, such as the existence of heirs you did not think of or differences in the names of property you own. You can collect the documents yourself, or we can obtain all the documents except for the seal registration certificate. (Additional fees are required)
- Your (the testator's) current family register
- original domicile
- Family registers required to determine presumed heirs
- Certificate of the person's (the testator's) seal impression
- Current family register of the person receiving the property
- Certificate of residence of the testator (the person receiving the bequest other than the presumed heir)
- registration information
- Property tax notice or valuation certificate
- Documents confirming other assets such as deposits, securities, etc.
We will prepare and present a draft of the will based on what we have heard in the interview and the materials we have collected.
We will check to make sure that your wishes are met and make revisions as necessary. We will make as many revisions as necessary until you have a legally valid will that reflects your wishes. No additional fees will be charged until completion.
It is also possible to leave a will with an additional phrase that expresses your wishes for your remaining family members. We will work with you to create a "heartfelt will" so that your family will know your wishes and inheritance will be amicable.
A notarized will is a will that is prepared by the testator in the presence of two or more witnesses at a notary public office. It can be prepared even by a very elderly person as long as he or she has sufficient capacity to make a will.
Although notarized wills are more costly and time-consuming than self-written wills, they offer many advantages, including the following
- A notary public confirms the form and feasibility of the contents of the will in advance, so that the will can be left with certainty.
- Notaries confirm the testamentary capacity of the testator, so there is less chance of disputes after inheritance begins
- No family court probate required at the time of opening
- No need to discuss the division of property, and the property succession process can be carried out as stated in the will.
- Original documents are kept at the notary public's office, so there is no risk of falsification or loss.
The testator himself/herself prepares the draft of the will in his/her own handwriting after careful preparation and proofreading of the draft.
We can help you prepare your will to make it legally valid.
In the case of a notarized will, a notary public prepares the will in the presence of two or more witnesses, and the original will is kept at the notary office until inheritance begins.
As a general rule, you must keep your own will if it is a self-written will.
The system of custody of wills in the Legal Affairs Bureau began on July 10, 2020.
Under this system, an application for custody of the will may be filed with the Legal Affairs Bureau that has jurisdiction over the testator's domicile, legal domicile, or the location of real estate owned by the testator.
However, in order to use this system, the testator himself/herself must appear at the competent Legal Affairs Bureau. The Legal Affairs Bureau will only confirm the external appearance of the will, and unlike a notarized will, it will not provide consultation on its contents, etc., will not check the testator's cognitive functions, and will not guarantee its validity.
