As Japan's population ages, the risk of 'asset freeze'—where individuals lose the ability to withdraw savings or sell property due to cognitive decline—has become a pressing social issue.

'Family trust' is emerging as a key solution to this challenge.

A family trust allows individuals to entrust asset management to a trusted family member while still mentally capable, enabling smooth future asset management and succession. However, as a relatively new system, many find it difficult to understand, with common concerns including 'the mechanism is too complex' or 'I don’t understand how it differs from adult guardianship.'

This book clearly explains, using diagrams and real-life examples:

- What is a family trust? - What preparations should be made before dementia onset? - Differences between adult guardianship and wills - Ideal cases for implementing a family trust - Practical implementation: from contract to operation - Q&A addressing common questions

Additionally, the book details practical aspects essential for implementing a family trust, such as key points in trust agreements, trust registration, trust bank accounts, and notarized document preparation—making it highly useful for those considering pre-inheritance planning.

Supervisor’s Comment

'Recently, the term 'family trust' is becoming more common in public discourse. Since the 2006 legal reform, our firm has actively taken on family trust cases, and the awareness of this system has significantly increased compared to the early days.

However, the fact remains that many people are still unaware of this convenient mechanism. I took on the supervision of this book to help promote its adoption and to share practical advice based on real-world experience.

I believe the content breaks down complex topics into easy-to-understand explanations. I hope this book serves as a starting point for many people to begin thinking about dementia preparedness and inheritance planning.'
