At Home Partners with Tsujihongo IT Consulting to Enhance Inheritance Procedures

At Home Collaborates with Tsujihongo IT Consulting

In an exciting development, At Home Inc., located in Ota, Tokyo, has announced a partnership with Tsujihongo IT Consulting Co., Ltd., based in Shibuya, Tokyo. This partnership aims to provide a seamless inheritance procedure through their platform, "better相続" (Better Inheritance Service), specifically for the vacant property owners registered in the At Home "Vacant House Bank".

With this initiative, both companies are poised to tackle the increasing societal issue of vacant properties, often left unmanaged and unutilized. By alleviating the burdens and uncertainties associated with inheritance paperwork, the collaboration seeks to not only prevent the abandonment of these properties but also promote their effective usage.

Objectives of the Partnership

At Home has recently established a resource called the "Vacant House Owner Guide" scheduled to launch in May 2025. This guide is designed to assist vacant property owners by addressing common challenges they face, such as inheritance, management, and utilization. By integrating the efficient inheritance management system of "better相続," property owners can navigate the complexities of the inheritance process much more smoothly from the onset of a succession event.

This partnership aims to reduce the burden associated with information gathering and procedural steps that can often seem daunting. The ultimate goal is to empower vacant property owners to take a more proactive stance in managing and utilizing their assets sooner rather than letting them fall into neglect.

Advantages for Vacant Property Owners

1. Simplified and Quicker Procedures
The collaboration streamlines the entire process of inheritance registration to property disposal, eliminating the need to reach out to multiple service providers. This one-stop support ensures that even complicated tasks can be conducted with ease.

2. Elimination of Uncertainty in Consultation
A new consultation portal will address the common worry of uncertainty many estate owners face, particularly the question of where to seek help. This platform will allow users to consult any concerns relating to inheritance and vacant properties, enabling them to confidently move to the next steps.

What is "Better Inheritance"?

"Better Inheritance" is a platform developed by Tsujihongo IT Consulting with the ambition of resolving all issues associated with inheritance processes. Registration in this system permits individuals to manage inheritance procedures without the necessity of separately consulting tax advisors, judicial scriveners, and administrative scriveners.

Benefits range from calculating inheritance tax and consulting on preventive measures through plans like the "better相続申告 – Pre-Inheritance Planning Plan" to practical guides for newcomers to the inheritance process with the "better相続手続きガイド". Users can also easily change the title of inherited properties via "better相続登記" or manage tax declarations via "better相続申告" on the web with efficiency.

Collaboration with additional companies will continue to expand the practical information and services available, reinforcing efforts to resolve the vacant property dilemma across Japan.
