Strategic Partnership Between Crassone and Tsujihongo IT Consulting

In a significant move aimed at streamlining the inheritance process, Crassone, a leading demolition technology platform based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, has partnered with Tsujihongo IT Consulting, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. This collaboration comes in the wake of the imminent legal requirement for inheritance registration set to take effect on April 1, 2024. With Japan's aging population and increasing number of inheritances, both companies recognize the importance of providing efficient solutions.

The Context Behind the Partnership

As the need for inheritance registration has become a legal obligation rather than a mere choice, it has highlighted the complexities faced by individuals navigating these processes, especially considering the increasing number of vacant homes, many of which are inherited. Reports indicate that over 50% of vacant homes are acquired through inheritance, emphasizing the necessity of proactive measures to tackle this growing issue.

Crassone operates a platform that connects over 2,100 specialized construction companies with property owners needing demolition services, boasting a successful track record with over 150,000 users. This partnership seeks to enhance the services offered to their clients, providing a comprehensive solution from property inheritance to demolition.

Conversely, Tsujihongo IT Consulting runs the cloud service "better相続," which simplifies complex inheritance procedures, allowing users to handle their inheritance tax declarations and property name transfers online without the need for intermediaries such as tax advisors or legal professionals. Since the announcement of the upcoming legal changes, the usage of their service has surged, with registered property cases surpassing 10,000 as of April 30, 2025.

Mutual Benefits of the Partnership

Through this collaboration, clients of Crassone who are experiencing difficulties with inheritance procedures will have access to the better相続 platform. Similarly, users of better相続 will be able to explore Crassone's demolition services for properties after completing their inheritance processes. This mutual referral system aims to improve customer service and provide a seamless one-stop solution from inheritance procedures to property demolition.

Statements from Company Leaders

Ken Kuroshita, President of Tsujihongo IT Consulting:
"The concept behind 'better相続' is to empower individuals to manage their inheritance procedures independently. We have developed a system that addresses the complexity of these processes while keeping costs low. By partnering with Crassone, a demolition expert, we can now offer comprehensive support that extends beyond simple registration to all aspects of inheritance and property management. We hope this partnership contributes significantly to tackling the pressing issue of vacant homes in our society."

"Our vision is to cultivate a sustainable cultural approach to urban renewal through demolition services. As we continue to observe a rise in inquiries related to vacant properties, we recognize the interconnectedness of inheritance and demolition services. This partnership enables us to provide integrated support, promoting a smoother transition for homeowners dealing with inheritance and property management challenges. We are optimistic about our combined efforts leading to effective solutions for the vacant homes issue."
