What is the difference between an inheritance order and a probate order?
It depends on whether the deceased left a will. Without a will, the estate is divided according to Israeli inheritance law via an inheritance order. With a will, a probate order gives the will legal force. Both are handled before the Registrar of Inheritance Affairs, and I accompany you through the entire process.
Can a will be contested? In which cases?
Yes, on defined grounds: lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, defects in how the will was made, involvement of a beneficiary in drafting it, or suspicion of forgery. It is a sensitive process that requires professional review of the circumstances and the evidence.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
The estate is divided according to the statutory order of inheritance: spouse and children first, then parents, siblings and other relatives. This default does not always match what the deceased would have wanted — which is exactly why drafting a will in advance matters.
What is an Enduring Power of Attorney and why make one?
It is a legal document that lets you decide in advance who will make decisions on your behalf regarding property, finances and health, if you can no longer do so yourself. It keeps the choice in your hands instead of the court's. I am certified by the Administrator General to draft these documents.
Do you work with clients abroad?
Yes. I regularly represent heirs and clients living outside Israel in inheritance and estate proceedings, with consultations over Zoom and document signing arranged remotely. Consultations are available in Hebrew and English.
How much does legal handling of an inheritance matter cost?
It depends on the type and complexity of the proceeding. In our first consultation we will map your needs together, and you will receive a clear, transparent fee proposal up front — no surprises later.
