From Proprietor
I worked as Director and Manager at one of the Japanese major financial institutions and a specialized trading company until the age of my retirement and over a long period of time for 27 years I stayed in Mexico, Chile, Spain and the UK etc. working together with the people there and using their languages. Through my precious business experience in those foreign countries, I learned a lot what they are thinking and how they see Japan and the Japanese people. Also, I received a lot of their heartwarming supports. So I established this KAKEHASHI INTERNATIONAL OFFICE in order to give back to the people even though indirectly. You can receive our services in your mother language, English or Spanish.

Procedures of Adult Guardianship
I have concerns like this…
- I have some concerns what happens if I suffer from dementia in future. I live alone and my daughter lives abroad. I don’t want to bother her.
- My elderly father has got dementia. The other day he seems to have signed an agreement with a remodeling contractor for large scaled remodeling of our house without any discussion with us. The agreement requires us to pay an excessive amount of money for this. I’m worrying how to deal with it.
- My 40year-old son was born with intellectual disability. I’m getting old and have concerns what happens to him when I die.
What is Adult Guardianship System?
The Adult Guardian System serves to support elderly people who suffer dementia, those who do not have sufficient judging ability due to intellectual, mental and developmental disability etc. by providing with a supporter to protect their legal rights for making best use of their abilities and assets. Its basic principles are; respect on self-determination right, Normalization (the idea to realize an equitable society), and making use of their remaining abilities. The Adult Guardian System has the following 2 types.
Legal Guardian System
The Legal Guardian System serves for those whose judging ability becomes limited due to dementia or intellectual disability, etc. and wish to receive immediate supports. Adult guardians etc. (guardian, curator and assistant) appointed by Court of Domestic Relations support those of limited judging ability from legal and daily life points of view in order to protect their property and legal rights. The Legal Guardian System has 3 types; “Guardianship”, “Curatorship” and “Assistance” depending upon the levels of their dementia and disability.
Voluntary Guardian System
The Voluntary Guardian System serves for those who are actually fine and do not have any difficulties in judging ability but wish to prepare in advance for the future problems. In order to prepare for any possibilities of decreasing abilities of judgement due to dementia or intellectual disorder, a notarized contract (voluntary guardian contract) shall be concluded with a voluntary appointed person (Appointed voluntary guardian, later formally becomes a Voluntary guardian) for those actions to be taken on behalf such as legal acts of property management and contract conclusion. When the principal’s judging ability actually lowers, the voluntary guardian contract becomes effective only after a supervisor of voluntary guardian being appointed by Court of Domestic Relations.
How to use the Adult Guardianship System?
Legal Guardianship
- Depending on the levels of the principal’s judging ability, guardianship, curatorship or assistance shall be determined to file a petition with Court of Domestic Relations and it should be filed with the competent court for the principal’s residence (registered address). Those who can file the petition are; the principal, his or her spouse, relatives within a relations of 4th degree, etc. and mayor or head of municipality in case there are no relatives who would file the petition. Candidates for guardian etc. can be included into the petition as well.
- Once the petition for guardianship is made, the Court of Domestic Relations will assess and investigate it through interviewing the petitioner, the candidates for guardian, etc. and the principal, conducting a psychiatric examination on the principal, and inquiring the relatives, etc. By which, the court will judge on start of adult guardianship and appoint a guardian etc. using their official authority. Afterwards, they will request Legal Affairs Bureau in Tokyo to officially register the guardianship.
- The guardian etc. will elaborate a list of the principal’s property immediately after being appointed and present it to the court accompanied by an annual budget. The duties of the guardian etc. are; 1. property management such as deposit transactions and expense payments, etc., 2. medical and nursing care guardianship, and 3. reports to the Court of Domestic Relations.
Voluntary guardianship
- The principal appoints a future supporter, namely “Voluntary guardian”. This person is called an “Appointed voluntary guardian”. Then, he or she decides which legal acts are to be taken by the voluntary guardian on behalf of the principal and conclude a notarized voluntary guardian contract. The legal acts are; 1. property management such as deposit transactions and expense payments, etc., and 2. medical and nursing care guardianship. If necessary, contracts for continuous monitoring, delegation of property management, etc. or of posthumous legal acts may be concluded together with the voluntary guardian contract.
- When the judging ability of the principal finally lowers, a petition for appointment of a supervisor of voluntary guardian shall be filed with the competent Court of Domestic Relations. Those who can file the petition are; the principal, his or her spouse, relatives within a relations of 4th degree, etc. and the appointed voluntary guardian. Candidates for supervisor of voluntary guardian can be included into the petition as well.
- Once the petition for a supervisor of voluntary guardian is presented, the Court of Domestic Relations will examine it based upon the principal’s situation, backgrounds of the appointed voluntary guardian and so on through interviewing the principal, etc. They will judge to appoint a supervisor of voluntary guardian using their official authority. The voluntary guardian contract becomes effective only after the appointment of a supervisor of voluntary guardian.
- At this moment, the “Appointed voluntary guardian” becomes a “Voluntary guardian” and starts to work as a guardian, etc. The duties of the guardian etc. are; 1. property management such as deposit transactions and expense payments, etc., 2. medical and nursing care guardianship, and 3. reports to the supervisor of voluntary guardian.
How much will be the cost of Adult Guardianship?
- According to “Fee Standards for Guardian, etc.” dated January 1st, 2013 of the Court of Domestic Relations in Tokyo, the standard level of basic fees for guardian, etc. (including curator and assistant) for their normal working is JPY20,000 per month and from JPY30,000 to 40,000 if the managed property amount exceeds JPY10million and less than JPY50million, and the fee level is from JPY50,000 to 60,000 for more than JPY50million of the property.
- On the other hand, the standard level of basic fees for supervisor of guardian for their normal working is from JPY10,000 to 20,000 per month if the managed property amount is less than JPY50million and the fee level is from JPY25,000 to 30,000 for more than JPY50million of the property.
- The additions up to 50% of the basic fee can be considered in case there are some special difficulties in physical custody of the adult guardianship activities.
- While the court decides the basic fees for legal guardians after a petition is filed for their remuneration payments, the fees for voluntary guardian are stipulated in advance within the guardian contract. The fees for supervisor of voluntary guardian shall be determined by the court in the same manner as for legal guardians.
- In addition to the above-mentioned fees, incur costs of petition with the Court of Domestic Relations.

- I’ve heard that I will not be able to receive pension payments in full if continue working after my retirement. Is it true? Should I stop working and live leisurely at my age of 65? I have concerns what should I do with dementia or nursing care in future for a long time after my retirement.
