H & H Lawyers recently co-hosted a seminar on Gold Coast, to speak about the laws surrounding cross-border inheritance between Australia and Japan. In collaboration with Japanese law firm Kensei Law Office, tax agents Yamada & Partners, and accountants Yoko Briese Accounting & Business Services, our team members Tin-Lok Shea and Daisuke Ueda explored the unique complexities that arise when family members or assets are spread across both countries. The seminar was an engaging and productive session, thanks to the contributions of our collaborators and attendees.
We hope the session provided valuable insights for those with assets in both Australia and Japan, helping them understand how such cross-border issues may affect them. Inheritance is often not considered until it becomes necessary—this can make dealing with legal matters suddenly overwhelming and stressful, especially when navigating two different legal systems. Preparation and estate planning are essential to help avoid unnecessary stress and costs for loved ones.
If you require guidance on any aspect of inheritance or estate planning, we encourage you to get in touch with us.
