I’m looking for advice about US-style irrevocable trusts, specifically the Japanese tax implications for becoming a secondary beneficiary to a US citizen’s irrevocable trust as a 10 year Japan resident. I’ve worried about potentially having to pay tax up front.
However, I’m a bit lost on where to even start. Should I be consulting a CPA or maybe a lawyer? I can speak Japanese but I’m not confident about using the specialized terms, even in English. Any tips would be appreciated.
