[registrars] Deceased registrant.

["Robert F. Connelly" <rconnell@psi-japan.com>]

Dear Colleagues:

Have any of you death with the problems of the death of a registrant?

We're checking with our attorney.  Probate is very rate in Japan, the 
family takes care of the estate as long as it does not exceed some 
value.  The tax used to cut in at 60,000,000 yen.

We are tempted to accept the family "Koseki" (Family Register) with the 
name of the deceased crossed out.  That's the way the city or ward office 
indicates that the family member has departed.
