What kind of system is the will storage system?

In a nutshell, it is a system in which handwritten wills are kept by the Legal Affairs Bureau, which is a new system that started in the second year of Reiwa. It’s not enough to make a notarial will, but it’s an easy-to-use system for those who want to leave a handwritten will. For the convenience of those who remain behind, such as avoiding problems such as the will not being found after death and omitting the procedure for probing the will in court. However, there are rules on the format of the will, and some people may find it difficult to create a storage application. Our office also supports the preparation of wills and storage applications.
