What is Shihoshoshi, a legal scrivener?

A Shihoshoshi , or legal scrivener, is a nationally licensed legal professional who performs a variety of non-litigation legal tasks. This includes handling the registration of real estate transactions—such as buying, selling, gifting, and inheriting properties, including akiyas. We also manage commercial registration duties, which cover the formation of companies, changes in corporate leadership, and the dissolution of companies. Additionally, we can serve as Seinenkoukenn , legal guardians for individuals deemed by the family court to be mentally incapable of managing their financial affairs.

To confirm the credentials of a legal scrivener or to lodge a complaint, one should contact the prefectural association with which they are registered, as all legal scriveners are required to register with their local association.
