Estate Administration and Probate in Israel
If you are moving to Israel or purchasing property here while remaining a resident abroad, it’s essential to ensure that your will reflects your local Israel interests. Israeli law has specific requirements for the distribution of assets within the country, especially when it comes to real estate, and without a properly drafted will, your property could be subject to inheritance laws that may not align with your wishes.
I specialize in creating wills that cater to the unique needs of international clients. Whether you own property in Israel or are planning to move here, I can help you draft a will that ensures your assets in Israel are distributed according to your intentions. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your legacy is protected and that your estate in Israel will be handled according to your wishes.

Administering an estate in Israel, whether probating a will or managing an intestate inheritance (when there is no will), involves navigating a detailed legal process that can be challenging, especially for those residing abroad.
Probating a Will:
If the deceased left a will, the probate process in Israel involves validating the will through the Israeli courts to ensure it is legally binding. As your legal representative, I assist in filing the necessary documents, obtaining probate orders, and managing the distribution of assets according to the terms of the will. My goal is to streamline this process, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are honored and that the beneficiaries receive their inheritances as intended.
Intestate Inheritance:
When a person passes away without a will, their estate is considered "intestate." In such cases, the distribution of assets is governed by Israeli inheritance law, which dictates how the estate should be divided among surviving relatives. I guide you through this complex process, helping you understand your rights and obligations, and ensuring that the estate is administered efficiently and fairly according to the law.
International Considerations:
For clients with assets in multiple countries or who reside outside of Israel, I provide specialized expertise in cross-border estate administration. I work to ensure that the Israeli probate or intestate process aligns with any legal requirements in other jurisdictions, providing a seamless and comprehensive service.
Whether you are dealing with a will or an intestate estate, I am here to offer expert guidance and support, helping you navigate the legal requirements with confidence and ensuring that the estate is handled with care and efficiency.
Durable Power of Attorney

Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) (ייפוי כח מתמשך) is a critical legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. This can cover a wide range of decisions, including financial matters, healthcare, and other personal affairs. I am fully qualified to prepare your DPOA, ensuring it aligns with your specific needs and complies with Israeli law. Additionally, I am certified to administer its execution and submission, giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be respected no matter what the future holds.
