Apologies if this is imposing but do you have any links or insight regarding Japanese estate tax or real estate transfer? A family member passed away recently and was the owner of land in Tokyo. I have visited multiple times but do not speak Japanese and cannot figure out if we need to report the transfer of ownership, pay tax for the transfer, etc... The land is currently used by other family members who own the house that was built on the land.
This sounds confusing even for someone who is fluent in Japanese. Perhaps seeking professional help would be wise. It sounds like the kind of thing this guy does: http://www.langleyesquire.com/
