Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In response to the rapidly aging society, there are increasing needs among the elderly for managing their assets in trust schemes in Japan. This is posing new challenges to Japanese trust law, because trusts have been primarily used by trust banks to create investment schemes in Japan, while private trusts to manage one's assets and/or leaving assets to his family members have hardly ever been utilized. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on rules on such private trusts by tailoring existing rules created based on commercial trusts. This research aims to meet the necessity by employing comparative legal study primarily on English trust law.
