Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) has newly released the Special Contribution Fee Simulator (https://tokubetu.xyz/tools/contribution-counter) within its AI Special Contribution Fee Simulator "Tokubetsu Kiyoryo Navi" (https://tokubetu.xyz).
Legal Light on the Problem of "Providing Care but Receiving Nothing"
With the revised Inheritance Law enforced in July 2019, the system of "special contribution fees" based on Article 1050 of the Civil Code was newly established. This allows relatives who are not heirs (e.g., the eldest son's wife) to claim monetary payment from heirs if they have gratuitously contributed to the care or nursing of the deceased.
However, according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions," the majority of primary caregivers for those requiring care are cohabiting family members, many of whom are not legal heirs. Even with the system in place, many hesitate to make a claim because they don't know "if they can claim" or "how much it would be." The time and psychological burden of mediation and judgment at family courts also contribute to this hesitation.
Three Features of the "Special Contribution Fee Simulator"
-
Calculate estimated claim amount in 30 seconds: By simply entering the period, frequency, and content of care, the estimated claim amount is immediately calculated based on the Family Court's practical standards under Article 1050 of the Civil Code.
-
Reflects Family Court's practical standards: Based on the practical calculation method of "amount equivalent to care remuneration × discretionary ratio," it presents amounts according to the type of care (physical care, living assistance, supervision).
-
Guides through the claim process: The simulation result screen guides users through the steps of the claim procedure (discussion → mediation → judgment) and the 6-month claim deadline (from the start of inheritance and knowledge of heirs).
