Assistance with wills and estate matters, including those involving executors or beneficiaries in Japan

We all know that we should organise our estate matters sometime. Nevertheless, people often leave it too late. Preparing a will is crucial for you to express your intentions, and it also helps reduce burden on your loved ones after your passing.

If your family member passes away with a will, an executor appointed in the will needs to deal with the deceased estate. Depending on the type or amount of assets left, the executor may need to apply for a grant of Probate to the Supreme Court before distributing the assets among beneficiaries. Without a will, you family members need to work out who should be an administrator of the estate in accordance with the law of intestacy and may apply for a grant of Letters of Administration.

We provide assistance in estate matters with or without a will. We also have many years of experience in estate matters involving executors or beneficiaries living in Japan. With our network based in Japan, we can provide one-stop services for these complicated cases.
We can also assist you in the preparation of Enduring Power of Attorneys, Guardianship appointments and Advanced Care Directives.

Typical Transactions & Matters

• Will
• Enduring Power of Attorney
• Guardianship appointment
• Advanced Care Directives
• Probate and Letters of Administration

Your interests first, always

For many, buying real estate is one of the most expensive purchases in their lifetime. You want to make sure that you are buying a property worth your money. Neither a real estate agent nor your mortgage broker or bank will necessarily put your interests first. That is why you need solicitors like us who give you the answer to your biggest question – “Is this property worth buying?” because we are here to look after your best interests as your legal representative.

When buying a property, it is sensible to conduct property surveys in advance and obtain legal advice on your contract of sale. The contract differs from property to property, and it is often necessary to negotiate with a vendor to make contract terms fairer for you as a purchaser. We can help you with conveyancing in NSW, VIC, ACT and QLD.

We also act for buyers from Japan and provide comprehensive services in Japanese.
Please contact us if you need to transfer your property among family members or between couples, including due to the marriage breakdown.

Typical Transactions & Matters

• Purchase
• Sale
• Transfer among family members or between couples

Advice based on understanding and empathy

Issues involving family law can often lead to life-changing decisions. When thinking about how your decision would impact yourself and others, you may feel that you are standing at a corner with nowhere to turn.

We all want to avoid family law issues whenever possible. However, if you find yourself in a situation in which you cannot, we are here to help.

At Yamamoto Attorneys, we appreciate the sensitive and personal nature of clients’ matters and believe that it is our mission to carry out each case with the utmost care. We treat each case as different and individual matters. We strive for the best possible outcome in every case.

Over our 20 years of experience in family law, we have seen first-hand the additional challenges that accompany international relationships, where the couple’s life is conducted outside the country of origin of one or both of the spouses. Many of the issues that arise from such relationships root from language barriers and cultural differences, as well as not being within close proximity with families and relatives back home.

Every member of Yamamoto Attorneys is Japanese and has experienced ‘international’ relationships and parenthood whilst living in Australia. We pursue in approaching your matter sympathetically through your perspective.
