 It is important for vacant houses to consult an expert at an early stage. This page introduces the experts who should check about vacant houses and can consult with you.

Last Updated October 24, 2024

Let's check in order about your vacant houses

STEP1 Let's check the owners of land in vacant houses and vacant houses

 Buildings and land can be checked by registering real estate at the Legal Affairs Bureau to find out who the owner is. In the case of an old building, the registered holder has not changed since the grandparents' generation, and it may be difficult to organize. Also, in the case of leased land (separate landowner), it is important to examine the contract relationship.

STEP2 Let's think about the inheritance of vacant houses (including plans)

 Illness, injury, and entrance to a facility can happen to anyone. If you do not decide what you want to do about property such as land and buildings, you will not be able to communicate your intentions in an emergency and will cause trouble for your relatives. By creating a will or applying for a lifetime gift, you can leave and communicate your will before inheriting. In addition, by utilizing the adult guardianship system, it is possible to ask reliable people to support judgments.

STEP3 Let's think about the management of vacant houses

 If the building is left for a long period of time, the pain progresses rapidly due to moisture and leaks. This not only reduces the asset value, but also causes inconvenience to neighbors, such as trees and weeds growing, and some of the buildings falling or scattering, which may lead to trouble. Consult an expert and manage vacant houses appropriately.
