Q&A
Q. Why is registration of real estate important in Japan?
A. Under Japanese Law, you are unable to duly assert the title of real estate you have purchased against a third party until you have registered the property. Until you complete registration, there is a risk that the original seller may sell it to a third party.
Q. Who should I ask for registration procedure?
A. Shiho-shoshi legal professionals are authorized to represent the registration process in Japan.
Q. When the owner passes, what happens to the ownership of real estate?
A. In Japan, the heirs are entitled to ownership of real estate when the owner passes away. At that time, a registration is made for proving the transfer of the ownership of the real estate from the decedent to the heirs by inheritance. When there is a will prepared by the decedent, this process is much simpler than when it’s not.
