Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Japanese citizen inherit property in China?
Yes, absolutely. Japanese citizens have full legal rights to inherit property located in China under Chinese inheritance law. The process requires notarized inheritance certification and proper authentication of Japanese-issued documents. Our team at 18664921865 handles the complete process.
How can a Japanese citizen sell Chinese property and transfer funds abroad?
Japanese citizens selling Chinese property must complete tax declaration, obtain tax clearance, and apply for foreign exchange purchase through SAFE-authorized banks. The process typically takes 1-3 months. Call +86 18664921865 for a consultation.
Is a Japanese will valid for Chinese assets?
A Japanese will may not be automatically recognized for assets located in China. Chinese inheritance law has specific requirements for wills disposing of property in China. We strongly recommend a separate China-specific will.
Can I sue someone in China while living in Japan?
Yes, you can initiate or defend a lawsuit in Chinese courts while residing in Japan through a lawfully authorized Chinese lawyer. We handle remote client representation including electronic service of process and court appearances.
Are Japanese court judgments enforceable in China?
Japan and China do not have a bilateral treaty on mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments. Japanese court judgments generally need to be re-litigated in Chinese courts. We advise on optimal dispute resolution strategies.
What business structures can Japanese companies use in China?
Japanese investors can choose WFOEs, joint ventures, or representative offices. Under the China-Japan bilateral investment treaty, certain protections apply for Japanese investors. Call 18664921865 for entity formation guidance.
Can a Japanese company sue a Chinese company for breach of contract?
Yes, a Japanese company can bring a breach of contract claim against a Chinese company in Chinese courts or through arbitration. The appropriate forum depends on the contract's dispute resolution clause.
How long does a Chinese court case typically take for Japanese litigants?
A standard civil lawsuit in China takes 6-12 months for first instance and 3-6 months on appeal. Complex cross-border cases involving Japanese parties may take longer depending on service of process and document authentication.
