When seizing the property of an heir for the national tax of the decedent, a collection official must endeavor to seize the inherited property first, to the extent that doing so does not hinder the execution of the delinquent tax collection procedure.
Where the heir's own property has been seized for the national tax of the decedent, the heir may request the district director to substitute the seizure, on the ground that the heir holds other inherited property that is easy to realize and is not subject to the rights of third parties, and that the entire amount of that national tax can be collected from that property.
被相続人の国税につき相続人の固有財産が差し押えられた場合には、その相続人は、税務署長に対し、他に換価が容易な相続財産で第三者の権利の目的となつていないものを有しており、かつ、その財産により当該国税の全額を徴収することができることを理由として、その差押換を請求することができる。
When a request under the preceding paragraph is made, the district director is to substitute the seizure if the district director finds the request appropriate, and must notify that heir to that effect if the district director does not find the request appropriate. In this case, the provisions of paragraph (5) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis.

district director
税務署長
The head of a tax office (税務署), the local office of the National Tax Agency that deals with taxpayers in its district (Act for Establishment of the Ministry of Finance, Article 24). It is the office a person usually deals with: an income tax return is filed with a district director (Income Tax Act, Article 120, paragraph (1)), and reassessments, determinations and the collection of national tax are done by the district director for the taxpayer's current place for tax payment (Act on General Rules for National Taxes, Articles 30 and 43). A person who objects to what a district director has decided can ask that director to look at it again (再調査の請求) or go straight to the National Tax Tribunal (Article 75, paragraph (1), item (i)) — unless the notice of the decision says officials of a Regional Taxation Bureau or of the National Tax Agency investigated, in which case it counts as the regional commissioner's decision, with the same choice, or as the Commissioner of the National Tax Agency's, which can only be challenged by a request for review to the Commissioner (Article 75, paragraph (2)).
