I am seeking any information on how a DC type retirement fund located outside of Japan (and owned by a foreigner) is taxed for inheritance purposes. I have read and acknowledge to some detail as to how a lump sum benefit of an equivalent Japanese fund is treated, but cannot seem to find information about a foreign fund.
Notes:
1. I am a dual citizen but do not reside in Japan, nor will I be for the foreseeable future
2. Irrespective of the above, I am liable for full global assets (this is a separate topic not for this post)
3. Unlike Japan, in my country, the above asset legally does not form part of a deceased estate
4. At present, my mother is the beneficiary of this asset but we are able to change this if there are any benefits
5. My mother lives in Japan and is Japanese
If this has already been answered elsewhere, I kindly ask for the post to be linked here, and I will educate myself.
Cheers!
