Preparing affidavits that are in Connection to Japanese Law:
Our lawyers can assist in the preparation of affidavits in relation to inheritance matters as well as any other matters relevant to Japanese Law.
Affidavits
An Affidavit is formed when a lawyer swears in the presence of a Notary at a Notary office that the contents of a document is true. After swearing an oath that the document contents are true, lawyers will then be required to sign the document in the presence of the Notary before the document can be declared as certified and authentic.
Affidavits in connection to Japanese Law are usually prepared by lawyers with skills and experience in the relevant field of law.
Apostilles
The Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, or the Apostille Convention, (Hague Convention of October 5, 1961), outlines that apostilles are the basis of certification and is required by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
An apostille will be required when you need to submit Japanese official documents to various procedures such as marriage, divorce, birth registration, visa application or real estate purchases, in foreign countries. Apostilles can be accepted by signatory countries of the Hague Convention. In the destination country, an apostille can be used as certification document which is equivalent to legalization by any Embassies and Consulates in Japan.
Our lawyers can assist in the obtainment of an apostille when necessary.
