Using Time to Protect Your Estate: Pre-Death Planning by Tax Accountant Eiji Ogawa in Kamakura

Eiji Ogawa of Ogawa Tax Accountant Office in Kamakura urges people to start inheritance planning early so time works in their favor. Without preparation, heirs may face inheritance disputes, unexpectedly high taxes, and lack of liquid funds to pay liabilities. Ogawa recommends measures such as documenting asset distribution, tax-aware asset allocation, and arranging liquidity to reduce burdens on survivors. Early, expert-guided planning can lower legal and financial risks for families when inheritance occurs.
