Inheritance in Japan
Many Hawaii families have property or relatives in Japan, and Japanese inheritance works from the family register. To identify every heir, Japanese authorities and banks ask for the deceased's family register records covering their whole life, from birth to death - often several registers, because a register is closed and a new one opened when a family changes.
For a Japanese national who died in Hawaii, the Hawaii death certificate is reported to Japan so that the register can be closed. For a Hawaii probate involving a Japanese relative, the chain of registers comes the other way and is translated register by register, with era dates converted.
