Kokoro no Company, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazuhiro Migaki) will begin offering "Charitora," a service to support the establishment and operation of public trusts, on July 2, 2026. Through our family trust service "Oyatoko," we have been addressing the property challenges of families in an aging society, including measures against asset freezes due to dementia, property management, asset succession, and business succession. "Oyatoko" has supported the "peace of mind" of many families as the No. 1 service in family trust contracts for three consecutive years (※). Family trusts are a system for entrusting valuable assets for the benefit of "family." On the other hand, public trusts are a system for entrusting valuable assets and aspirations for the benefit of "society." What both have in common is the essence of trust: "connecting what one has cherished to the future through a reliable system." In April 2026, the Public Trust Act was significantly revised for the first time in approximately 100 years, and a new public trust system was launched. This has expanded the options for business owners and wealthy individuals to more flexibly connect their philosophies and aspirations for society to the future as public activities. Leveraging our expertise in trust design, property management, asset succession, and business succession cultivated in the family trust domain, we are launching "Charitora," a new service that provides end-to-end support, from the conceptual design of public trusts, consulting, and authorization support, to the establishment of operational structures and ongoing support after operations begin. ※Third consecutive year, following the survey in November 2023 (conducted from October 15 to November 11).
