１０月施行デジタル遺言公正証書の最新情報についてLatest information on the digital notarized that will come into effect in October

先月９月１８日に　「デジタル公正証書遺言の概要－来月１０月から開始－Overview of Digital Notarized Wills – Starting next month in October –」の記事を投稿しましたが、早速、東京デュークレイ行政法務行政書士事務所では、遺言公正証書作成の御依頼を受けて、１０月１日に東京都内の公証役場に公証人と事前打ち合わせ手続きに行きました。
　公証人に確認しましたが、東京都内の全ての公証役場では１０月１日からは原則として全て遺言公正証書がデジタル化し、従来の紙媒体に遺言者・証人及び公証人が署名・押印する方式から、タブレット端末に表示された公証人が作成した遺言公正証書ＰＤＦに遺言者と証人の電子署名し最後に公証人の電子署名と電子押印（公証人職印のＰＤＦ埋込み方式）をする方式にリニューアルされました。
　なお、希望者には、デジタル媒体（CD－R）の交付でなく紙媒体の遺言公正証書正本・謄本を交付します。改正されたばかりで、実際の相続手続きで、例えば金融機関などから紙媒体の遺言公正証書正本の提示を請求されるケースが多いと想定されるからです。
　また、Ｗｅｂ方式による電子公正証書遺言書作成は、９月１８日の記事でお知らせしたとおり、公証役場に遺言者が赴くことが出来ない事情がある場合に限り公証人の判断で実施されることも併せて確認しました。

　以上、１０月施行デジタル遺言公正証書の最新情報について、お知らせします。

Last month on September 18th, we posted the article “Overview of Digital Notarized Wills – Starting next month in October –” and immediately responded to a request to prepare a notarized will at Tokyo Duk-Rei Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Office, where we went to a notary public’s office in Tokyo on October 1st to arrange a preliminary meeting with a notary public.
We confirmed with the notary public that, as of October 1st, all notarized wills at all notary public offices in Tokyo will, in principle, be digitized. This means that the previous system, in which the testator, witnesses, and notary public signed and affixed their seals to a paper document, has been updated to a new system in which the testator and witnesses digitally sign a PDF of the notarized will prepared by the notary public and displayed on a tablet device, and finally the notary public digitally signs and affixes their seal (with the notary public’s official seal embedded in the PDF).
However, if you request it, we will provide you with a paper copy of the notarized will and a certified copy instead of a digital copy (CD-R). This is because the law has only just been revised, and it is expected that in actual inheritance procedures, there will likely be many cases where financial institutions, for example, will request the presentation of an original paper copy of a notarized will.

Furthermore, as we announced in our article on September 18th, we have also confirmed that the creation of electronic notarized wills via the web will only be carried out at the discretion of the notary public when circumstances prevent the testator from attending a notary public’s office.

This concludes the latest information on digital notarized wills, which will come into effect in October.
