I'm not dead yet.

Yes, the average life expectancy of Japanese is 81 years for men and 87 years for women.
But you must also think that the instruments in your possession must be dealt with "someday".

Some of the instruments you now own were probably bought out of admiration, or acquired because you really liked their sound or beauty, or you had the pleasure of completing a series, or the satisfaction of owning the "best" model.

And as you get older, before you know it, you will meet yourself counting the years to go.
It's a strange thing, but I still find myselfstill have time.I believe or hope that I still have time...

By the way, have you ever thought that your instrument has feelings?
The instrument itself must be grateful to have found a master who cares for it and treats it with respect.
But you are not prepared for the fact that the master will be gone in a few years or decades.

The mortality rate for a 55-year-old male is 4%, and for a 65-year-old it is 10% (Life Insurance Cultural Center).
And the sudden death rate is 10-20% of the total mortality rate.
I myself am surrounded by people who have died in the same age group, but when "the time" comes, it is often too late.

I am sure you have regretted a lot in your life, but I don't want you to regret even your hobby of musical instruments.
I understand that you want to enjoy your own hobby as much as you can, and wish your wife, children, lovely grandchildren, and pets the best.

That is why, in a sense, leaving the instrument in the hands of a family member who does not understand 100% of your feelings is a very difficult thing to do.feel like a nuisance.Some people may feel it is a nuisance to entrust an instrument to a family member who does not understand their feelings 100%.
Imagine, for example, if you were left with a large collection of historically valuable haniwa clay figurines of various sizes.(Sorry for those who like Haniwa). (Sorry, haniwa lovers!).

I don't like the word "disposal". Now that your era is clearly engraved in the history of the instrument, to whom would you like it to be passed on to next?　Would you like to dispose of the instrument on Yahoo!

Many buyers do not have a physical store and the only place they can sell their instruments is through online auctions.

The higher the purchase price, the better."
I certainly agree.
On top of that, the following five conditions are essential.
(1) The store must specialize in instruments
(2) The shop must have sufficient knowledge and understand the value of the instrument.
(iii) Certainly have high maintenance and repair techniques.
(4) Have a physical store and not be able to run away.
(5) The person in charge is publicly visible and can be contacted at any time.
There are very few stores specializing in musical instruments that have both of these features.

We want to know about you.seriously about you.If you can think of a "person in charge" who really cares about you, please ask him or her when you visit the store.
Are you ready to pass on my life partner to the next generation with my thoughts and feelings?

If you have read this far, you probably have a good amount of assets.
Assets include cash, real estate, stocks and other securities, but what about musical instruments?
Generally speaking, no tax official knows the value of musical instruments. So what to do?
That would be to have it appraised by an expert.

It does not mean that it is okay because you do not know the value of the instrument. In fact, we haveRequest for appraisalare coming to us.
Then there's the nightmare of unexpected estate tax returns for heirs.

Generally, no inheritance tax is imposed as long as the total assets are within the basic exemption amount (30 million yen + 6 million yen x number of legal heirs).
However, for those with substantial assets, the legal heirs will pay inheritance taxes, which may be high depending on the value of the estate and recent stock prices, and often sell their homes to generate cash. In addition, if the tax office discovers that there are instruments left behind, it is best to assume that they will not be able to avoid pursuit.

While the heirs left behind are struggling to deal with the real estate, especially the home, and the inheritance of securities such as stocks, you do not want to see a future in which your father's music and musical instruments, which were his purpose in life, are tarnished by the history of the family.

And even a little bit.Concerns about recognitionFew people are aware of the fact that even a will you leave can be repudiated, and only experts know how to deal with this.

Then, are there any of you who have made gifts during your lifetime?
Now that the rules for gifting have changed in 2024 and calendar year gifting has become less useful, some of you may be thinking about the taxation of gifts at the time of inheritance.

So is the transfer of ownership of an instrument that is part of an asset a gift?
Is it okay to say, "Sell the instrument for cash when I die?"
The final decision is up to the tax official in charge,If you're unsure.If you are worried, you will want to do something about it in advance.

We will not only consult with you on the details of inheritance and gifts, but also support you in informing your family members about the handling of musical instruments and effective measures to deal with them.
