Research Abstract	Against the inherited property, not only an inheritance obligee or donee, but also an heir, administrator of the inherited property or executor may file a petition for commencement of bankruptcy proceedings. But such bankruptcy proceedings against the inherited property have not worked very well in Japan, because such proceedings are so complicated and expensive. Simplifying and speeding up the proceedings against to the inherited property in Japan must be one of the pressing issues about bankruptcy reform.
