Simplifying the Process of Reissuing Koseki Tohon
Inheriting property or assets from a Japanese ancestor can be a complicated process, especially if you are not currently living in Japan. A critical document often required for this process is the Koseki Tohon, or Family Registry. At Dave Higgins Office, we specialize in reissuing these essential documents for clients worldwide. Whether you’re settling an inheritance or need to establish your family ties, we’re here to assist you.
The Importance of Koseki Tohon for Inheritance
The Koseki Tohon is a comprehensive family registry that records the vital events of Japanese citizens, including births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. For those with Japanese ancestry, this document is often required when claiming inheritance, as it serves as proof of lineage and the legal right to inherit.
However, obtaining a copy of the Koseki Tohon can be challenging, especially if you’re not in Japan or if your Japanese ancestor passed away long ago. Language barriers, unfamiliarity with the Japanese legal system, and logistical challenges can make the process daunting. This is where we come in.
How We Can Assist You with Reissuing the Koseki Tohon
- Assessment and Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your specific situation and needs. We’ll ask for details about your ancestor, their place of registration, and the type of information you’re seeking.
- Document Retrieval: With your consent, we will contact the relevant city or town hall where the Koseki Tohon is registered. We will handle all the administrative tasks and follow up as needed to ensure the document is correctly reissued.
- Secure Delivery: Once we have obtained the reissued Koseki Tohon, we will securely send it to your desired location, ensuring that it arrives safely and promptly.
