Our Services Inheritance and Effective Estate Planning

Solutions Leading to Long-Lasting Satisfaction

The three principles of effective estate planning are: (1) satisfactory settlement of inheritance (legacy division); (2) manageable tax payments (through appropriate financing for tax payments including payment-in-kind); and (3) tax savings. The priority order of the three principles should be in the order as they have been stated. Tax savings come last. We suggest plans with a long-term perspective, considering not only the first inheritance but also the second inheritance, and pay attention to the varied impacts such events could possibly have on inheritors (i.e., family members) with respect to their living and financial conditions, among others. Estate planning will be more effective when it is conducted before inheritance processes are started, and the longer the preparation period becomes, the easier it will be to assure the efficacy of a plan. Therefore, we would recommend early consultation if you are concerned about inheritance issues.

Question #1
Have you written your will?
Question #2
Have you separated property to be inherited by heirs from those to be used for tax-payment purposes?
Question #3
Do you know the amount of inheritance tax payable, in case your property should be inherited now?
Question #4
Do you have enough funds available to make the tax payments?
Question #5
Do you know that the appraisal value of your property for the purpose of inheritance tax calculation is not necessarily equal to its market value?
Question #6
Do you know that the amount of inheritance tax on your estate will greatly vary depending on your legacy-division process?

First of all, it is important to analyze your current situation and understand the underlying issues.
