【大相続時代】スマホで作成「デジタル遺言」解禁へ　“なりすまし”リスクは？どう制度変わる？背景には深刻な社会問題（2026年4月10日）

On April 3rd, a bill to amend the Civil Code was approved by the Cabinet. This is expected to introduce a new feature: so-called "digital wills." The aim is to make it easier to create wills using smartphones and other devices, whereas previously, wills had to be handwritten. For many people, writing a will might seem daunting, with thoughts like, "I don't have that much wealth," or "Now isn't the time to write one." However, inheritance issues have serious implications not only for families but for society as a whole, and the desire to encourage more people to write wills seems to be the driving force behind this change. However, digitalization won't solve everything; there are still various challenges. This article explains what a "digital will" is, based on an interview with Atsuya Okagawa, a judicial scrivener at Okagawa General Law Office.
