Gentosha Gold Online to Host Free Webinar on Inheritance Planning and Income-Producing Real Estate Use

Gentosha Gold Online Inc. will host a free online webinar featuring Hiroyuki Kumashiro, General Manager of the Sales Planning Department at Ceres Corporation, licensed real estate transaction specialist and AFP, and Nobuhiko Yamamura, representative attorney at Yamamura Law Office. The webinar will explain the practical realities of using income-producing real estate by working backward from inheritance failure cases seen by an attorney, while taking into account land characteristics specific to the Tokyo suburbs. Rather than focusing on whether to build, the session will introduce a design-based approach to inheritance planning that starts from the exit question: how assets should be passed on without disputes. Event overview: The theme is inheritance and business succession. The webinar will be held online on Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Participation is free. The session addresses common views in inheritance planning, such as “apartment construction is frightening because of debt” or “doing nothing is safest.” However, when using income-producing real estate as part of inheritance planning, not knowing the reality is itself a major risk. The webinar will organize the risks of real estate use in inheritance planning, dispel the misconception that real estate utilization tends to cause losses, and explain from a lawyer’s perspective why income-producing real estate can be necessary for inheritance measures. It will also cover characteristics unique to areas near Tokyo, such as the tendency for land values to be maintained or rise and resilience against inflation. Based on the view that real estate is an asset not for increasing wealth but for protecting it, the speakers will discuss concrete ways to use apartment properties while looking ahead to succession. The webinar is recommended for people who hesitate to use income-producing real estate because they fear debt, those who own land or property near Tokyo and are concerned about future inheritance, those who want to understand comprehensive portfolio design including real estate, financial assets and insurance, those who want measures based on succession rather than simply building first, and those who want to avoid the risks of doing nothing and plan long-term asset succession. Planned content includes: income-producing real estate and inheritance planning worked backward from failure cases seen by an attorney; organizing the risks of real estate use in inheritance; why income-producing real estate is needed in inheritance planning; design thinking for inheritance without disputes; and apartment utilization based on the question of how assets should be passed on, including perspectives for long-term rental management and concrete apartment construction and utilization plans to maintain future profitability and asset value. A Q&A session is also planned. The organizers note that the information provided explains general institutional outlines, and individual legal or tax decisions should be discussed with professionals. Apartment management includes vacancy risk and repair risk, and future income is not guaranteed. Investment decisions should be made at one’s own responsibility. Seminar content may change without notice. Speaker Hiroyuki Kumashiro was born in 1977. After joining a housing manufacturer in 2000, he joined Ceres Corporation in 2002.
