Are you searching for inheritance lawyers in Israel to help with estate matters, will disputes, or cross-border inheritance issues? This page provides expert guidance on Israeli inheritance law, the probate process, and how our law firm, Derri Rifer & Co, can assist both local and international clients. Whether you are an heir, executor, or planning your estate, our comprehensive overview will help you understand your rights and the legal steps required.
Immediate Help with Inheritance Matters in Israel
An inheritance lawyer in Israel plays a crucial role in assisting clients with matters related to estate planning, wills, probate, and inheritance disputes. Israeli inheritance law is governed by the Succession Law of 1965, which establishes rules for distributing the estate of a deceased individual. Israeli inheritance lawyers specialize in navigating the Succession Law (1965), governing asset distribution after death.
When someone passes away leaving assets in Israel, heirs often find themselves facing urgent legal questions that require the expertise of inheritance lawyers in Israel. In these cases, the estate of the deceased person must be administered according to Israeli law. Managing an Israeli estate involves a structured process of settling and distributing assets in accordance with Israeli succession laws. The process can involve complex legal procedures. Whether you’re dealing with a frozen bank account, an apartment that cannot be transferred, or a dispute between family members, the first step is understanding your rights under Israeli inheritance law—and taking action before complications multiply.
Derri Rifer & Co has been handling inheritance, wills, and estate disputes in Israel since 1996, operating a boutique family and inheritance law practice built on personal attention and strategic results. The firm represents heirs, executors, and families throughout Israel and abroad, including cases where assets are located in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, or other cities while heirs reside overseas. They have extensive experience guiding clients through the legal process required to manage Israeli estates, from probate to estate administration. Israeli estate administration includes legal steps such as probate, asset transfer, settling debts, and ensuring compliance with Israeli succession law, making experienced legal guidance essential.
Urgent Situations Requiring Legal Help
Most common urgent situations we handle:
- Death in Israel or abroad with assets located in Israel
- Israeli bank accounts frozen pending a probate order or succession order (access to a deceased person’s assets requires following the legal process in Israel)
- Inherited apartment or property in Israel that cannot be sold or transferred
- Disputes between siblings or other family members over distribution
- Objection to a will or claims of undue influence
Common grounds for contesting a will in Israel include lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution. - Need for quick issuance of a probate order or succession order for international clients
Common challenges faced by foreign heirs in Israel include recognition of foreign wills and multiple heirs in different jurisdictions.
Many Israeli inheritance disputes are settled through mediation to preserve family relationships.
Please note that the estate remains obligated for many contractual arrangements established by the deceased person before their death, so it is important for heirs to seek legal advice before making any decisions.
Essential First Steps for Heirs
What you should do right now:
- Schedule an early legal consultation to understand your specific situation and rights
- Gather essential documents: death certificate, identification documents, the will (if one exists), property deeds, and bank statements
- Avoid signing any agreement or document between heirs before obtaining legal review
- If you live abroad, prepare a power of attorney so your lawyer in Israel can act on your behalf
Document Preparation for Heirs
Before proceeding, heirs should ensure they have the following documents ready:
- Death certificate
- Identification documents of all heirs
- The will (if one exists)
- Property deeds
- Bank statements

Legal Framework: Israeli Inheritance and Succession Law (Succession Law, 1965)
Inheritance in Israel is primarily governed by the Succession Law, 1965 (חוק הירושה, תשכ”ה–1965). Israel inheritance law serves as the overarching legal framework for estate distribution, wills, and intestate succession. This Israeli succession law applies to anyone who leaves assets in Israel, whether an Israeli citizen, permanent resident, or foreign national. Understanding this framework is essential before taking any steps in an inheritance matter.
Core principles of Israeli inheritance law:
- Two routes of inheritance: By will (testate succession) when a legally valid will exists, or by law (intestate succession) when there is no valid will
- State bodies involved: The Inheritance Registrar (רשם הירושה), Family Courts, and in certain cases involving family property, Rabbinical Courts
- No estate or inheritance tax: Israel does not impose death duties or inheritance tax, though capital gains tax and purchase tax may apply when inherited assets are sold or transferred
- Foreign tax obligations: Heirs residing abroad may have tax reporting requirements in their country of residence regarding Israeli-sourced inheritances
- Religious personal status: While civil inheritance law applies in most cases, personal religious status (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze) may occasionally affect proceedings, particularly where Rabbinical Court jurisdiction intersects with property issues
Israeli inheritance lawyers specialize in navigating the Succession Law (1965), governing asset distribution after death.
The Succession Law provides clear legal requirements for wills, establishes the rights of surviving spouses and children, and sets forth procedures for obtaining court approval to administer estates. Drafting a will in Israel is regulated by the Inheritance Law of 1965, which establishes strict formal and substantive requirements.
How Inheritance Works in Israel: With and Without a Will
The distinction between “inheritance by will” and “inheritance by law” fundamentally shapes how an estate is distributed. Whether you’re planning ahead or dealing with a recent death, understanding this difference helps you protect your rights and make informed decisions.
When a valid will exists: The estate should be distributed according to the deceased person’s written wishes, provided the will complies with formal validity requirements under Israeli law and no successful legal challenge is mounted.
When there is no will or the will is invalidated: Intestate succession rules take over, distributing assets based on family kinship as defined by the Succession Law.
Key Points about Israeli Intestate Succession
- The surviving spouse receives a substantial share of the deceased’s estate, including preferred rights in the family residence and movable property
- Children inherit alongside the spouse, with remaining assets typically divided equally among them
- If there is no surviving spouse or children, inheritance passes to parents, siblings, and more distant relatives according to a statutory hierarchy
- Common law spouses (ידועים בציבור) may claim inheritance rights similar to married spouses if they can prove a shared household and life together—though these claims often become contentious and require legal proceedings
Practical example: Consider an apartment in Tel Aviv, two children living abroad, and a surviving spouse in Israel. Under intestate succession, the spouse would typically receive the family car, household contents, and a significant portion of the apartment’s value, while the children would share the remainder. The exact distribution depends on the total estate value and specific family circumstances.
Foreign heirs and non-residents can inherit Israeli assets under the same substantive law as Israeli residents, though they must navigate additional procedural requirements including certified translations, apostilles, and often remote representation through legal assistance.
Inheriting Assets in Israel: What You Need to Know
Inheriting assets in Israel involves navigating a unique legal landscape shaped by the Israeli inheritance law and the Succession Law of 1965. Whether you are an Israeli resident or a foreign national, understanding the inheritance law and the probate process is essential to ensure a smooth and lawful transfer of assets. Estate administration in Israel requires strict adherence to legal procedures, including the validation of wills, the appointment of estate administrators, and the resolution of any outstanding debts or obligations.
Key Points for International Clients
- Non-residents and foreign nationals can inherit Israeli property and assets under the same substantive Israeli inheritance law as Israeli citizens
- Foreign heirs must typically supply documents (death certificates, wills, powers of attorney) with apostille certification and notarized Hebrew translations
- Foreign wills require court recognition and must not contradict Israeli public policy, particularly regarding Israeli real estate
For foreign nationals, the process can be particularly complex. Issues such as the recognition of foreign wills, compliance with Israeli succession law, and understanding local tax laws all play a significant role. An experienced lawyer in Israel can help you interpret the legal requirements, manage the necessary documentation, and represent your interests before Israeli authorities. This is especially important when dealing with cross-border estates or when the estate includes real estate, bank accounts, or other assets located in Israel.
Working with an inheritance lawyer ensures that your rights as an heir are protected and that the estate administration is handled efficiently. From the initial probate process to the final distribution of assets, legal guidance is invaluable in avoiding delays, misunderstandings, and potential disputes. If you are inheriting assets in Israel, seeking professional advice early on can help you navigate the complexities of Israeli inheritance law and secure your rightful inheritance.
Probate and Succession Orders in Israel
No bank, land registry office, or investment institution in Israel will transfer inherited assets to heirs without an official court order. This is the unavoidable gateway to accessing a deceased person’s estate. The legal process for obtaining probate or succession orders in Israel involves formal procedural steps overseen by the courts to validate wills and execute inheritance rights.
Two types of orders:
| Order Type | When Used | Issued By |
|---|---|---|
| Probate Order (צו קיום צוואה) | When there is a will | Inheritance Registrar or Family Court |
| Succession Order (צו ירושה) | When there is no will | Inheritance Registrar or Family Court |
Step-by-Step Probate Process
To initiate the probate process in Israel, one must file a petition with the appropriate court, providing necessary documents such as a death certificate and a will if available. The process includes the following steps:
- Collect required documents: Original will (if applicable), death certificate, identification documents of heirs, marriage certificate if relevant.
- File application: Submit to the Inheritance Registrar or Family Court, depending on case complexity.
- Pay fees: Legal filing fees and publication costs.
Costs associated with the probate process in Israel can vary based on the estate’s size and complexity, including court fees and potential attorney fees. - Publication period: Notice is published to allow potential objections from creditors or other claimants. Heirs must publish their application for an inheritance order and wait an interim period for third parties to oppose the inheritance order.
- Handle queries: Respond to any questions from the Registrar or court, provide additional documentation if requested.
- Obtain the order: Once issued, the order enables transfer of bank accounts, registration of real estate in the Land Registry (טאבו), and other asset transfers.
Timeline expectations:
- The probate process in Israel usually takes between 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the estate.
- Straightforward, uncontested cases: Typically 3-6 months
- Cases with minor complications or document delays: 6-9 months
- Contested matters with legal proceedings: Can extend to a year or more
Having an experienced inheritance lawyer prepare and follow up on the application significantly streamlines this process. This is particularly valuable when dealing with missing documents from foreign jurisdictions, arranging notarized Hebrew translations, and responding promptly to Registrar inquiries that might otherwise cause delays.
Types of Wills Recognized Under Israeli Law
The Succession Law, 1965 recognizes four main forms of will, each with strict formal requirements. Non-compliance with these legal standards can result in the will being declared invalid—leading to intestate succession or costly litigation.
Recognized will types under Israeli law:
- Handwritten will: Must be entirely written by hand by the testator, dated, and signed. No witnesses required, but any typed portions or assistance from others can invalidate the document.
- Witnessed will: The most common format. The testator signs in front of two adult witnesses who see the signature and hear the testator declare “this is my will.” Both witnesses then sign the document. Improper execution of witness requirements is a frequent ground for challenges.
- Will before an authority: Made orally or in writing before a judge, Inheritance Registrar, notary, or religious court judge. The official records and certifies the will, providing strong protection against later disputes.
- Oral will (deathbed will): An exceptional form permitted only when the testator is on their deathbed and cannot create a written will. Must be declared before two witnesses under strict conditions, and automatically expires if the testator survives for 30 days after regaining capacity to write.
Foreign wills can sometimes be recognized in Israel if they comply with conflict-of-law rules and formalities, including proper translation and apostille. However, foreign wills affecting Israeli real estate often require careful legal handling to avoid rejection or objections from Israeli authorities.
Derri Rifer & Co advises clients on choosing the right form of will for their situation. For example, mutual wills are often recommended for spouses with children from previous relationships, while separate Israeli wills may be advisable for foreign residents with real estate in cities like Tel Aviv, Rishon LeZion, or Netanya.
Common Inheritance Disputes and Will Contests in Israel
Inheritance disputes in Israel frequently arise among siblings, between second spouses and children from prior relationships, or where foreign heirs feel excluded or misled about their rights. These conflicts can transform a straightforward estate administration into prolonged court proceedings.
Typical grounds for challenging a will:
- Lack of testamentary capacity: The testator suffered from dementia, severe cognitive decline, or mental illness at the time of signing
- Undue influence: A caregiver, partner, or one child manipulated the testator’s decisions
- Coercion or threats: The testator was pressured into signing under duress
- Improper involvement: A beneficiary participated in drafting or witnessing the will
- Formal defects: Missing signatures, absence of required witnesses, unclear dates, or failure to meet handwritten will requirements
Common factual patterns we see:
- Last-minute will changes favoring one child who lived near the testator in central Israel while other siblings lived abroad
- Lifetime gifts to one family member later claimed as loans by the estate
- Disputes over whether a partner qualifies as a common law spouse with inheritance rights
- Conflicts between a surviving spouse from a second marriage and children from the deceased’s first marriage
- Claims that an estate administrator mismanaged inherited assets or failed to account for bank accounts and property
Israeli courts examine medical records, witness testimonies, financial records, and the circumstances under which the will was prepared. Derri Rifer & Co’s litigation background in Family Courts and Rabbinical Courts provides a significant advantage in these contested legal proceedings, where strategic preparation and courtroom experience directly impact outcomes.
International and Cross-Border Inheritance: Foreign Heirs and Overseas Assets
Many estates involve a mix of Israeli assets—apartments in Tel Aviv or Ashdod, Israeli bank accounts, investment portfolios—and heirs scattered across Europe, North America, South America, or other regions. These cross border estates require coordinated handling of multiple legal systems.
Key Points for International Clients
- Non-residents and foreign nationals can inherit Israeli property and assets under the same substantive Israeli inheritance law as Israeli citizens
- Foreign heirs must typically supply documents (death certificates, wills, powers of attorney) with apostille certification and notarized Hebrew translations
- Foreign wills require court recognition and must not contradict Israeli public policy, particularly regarding Israeli real estate
Common cross-border difficulties:
- Different legal terminology and procedures between Israeli and foreign inheritance systems
- Need to coordinate with foreign probate proceedings running simultaneously
- Tax reporting obligations abroad (U.S., UK, EU countries) on Israeli-sourced inheritances
- Language barriers when communicating with Israeli authorities
- Time zone challenges and inability to appear personally in Israel
Derri Rifer & Co assists foreign heirs in managing Israeli inheritance procedures remotely. This includes preparing powers of attorney that enable full representation without the client needing to travel to Israel, handling all court filings and Registrar communications, arranging certified translations, and coordinating with foreign counsel where multi-jurisdictional issues arise.
Real Estate and Tax Aspects of Inheritance in Israel
While there is no inheritance or estate tax in Israel, inherited real estate triggers important legal and tax implications when it comes time to transfer ownership or sell the property.
Registration requirements for inherited real estate:
- Inherited property rights must be registered in the Land Registry (טאבו), Israel Land Authority (רמ”י), or company share registries based on the probate order or succession order
- Registration cannot proceed without the official court order, even if all heirs agree on distribution
- Israeli property in development areas or leased land may require additional approvals
Israeli law requires that all outstanding debts of the deceased must be paid before heirs can receive distributions from the estate.
Tax considerations:
Tax planning is an important aspect when dealing with inherited real estate and estate transfers, as it can help address both financial and succession goals.
| Tax Type | When It Applies | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Capital Gains Tax (מס שבח) | Upon sale of inherited real estate | Exemptions may apply depending on property history and heir’s other holdings |
| Purchase Tax (מס רכישה) | When heirs buy out other heirs’ shares | Rate depends on buyer’s existing property ownership |
| No Inheritance Tax | Receiving the inheritance itself | Israel does not tax the act of inheriting |
| Practical example: Three siblings inherit a family apartment in Jerusalem. One wishes to continue living in it, two wish to sell and take their shares in cash. Resolution requires either agreement on buyout terms, a dissolution of co-ownership suit, or a court-appointed sale. Each path has different tax and practical implications. | ||
| As a firm with extensive experience in both inheritance and Israeli real estate law, Derri Rifer & Co frequently handles: |
- Dissolution of co-ownership between heirs in apartments and houses throughout Israel
- Court-appointed sales where heirs cannot reach agreement on property disposition
- Drafting comprehensive agreements between heirs to prevent future disputes and clarify each party’s rights and obligations
Getting early advice before signing sales agreements or internal family arrangements helps avoid unexpected tax liabilities or registration problems that can delay or complicate transfers.
The Role of the Estate Manager in Israeli Inheritance Proceedings
In the landscape of Israeli inheritance law, the estate manager (also known as an estate administrator) is a pivotal figure responsible for ensuring that the deceased’s estate is handled in accordance with the law and the wishes expressed in a valid will—or, in the absence of a will, according to the intestate succession rules. The estate manager’s primary duty is to safeguard, manage, and ultimately distribute the remaining assets to the rightful heirs, while also settling any outstanding debts or obligations of the estate.
Estate Planning: Wills, Mutual Wills and Continuing Power of Attorney
Many inheritance disputes and administrative delays can be prevented through proper estate planning tailored to Israeli law and the specific structure of the family. Proactive planning is particularly important for individuals with second marriages, children from different relationships, business interests, or real estate assets in Israel.
Estate planning services we provide:
- Personal wills: Drafted to reflect specific wishes, family dynamics, and special assets including businesses, investment portfolios, and foreign assets
- Mutual wills: Regulated in Israel since 2005 under section 8A of the Succession Law, these wills allow spouses to make reciprocal arrangements protecting the surviving spouse while preserving children’s interests
- Continuing power of attorney (ייפוי כוח מתמשך): A modern tool under Israeli law for designating who will manage personal, financial, and medical affairs if capacity is lost—complementary to inheritance planning
Why mutual wills require particular expertise:
Mutual wills create binding obligations that limit the surviving spouse’s ability to change the arrangement after one spouse dies. This requires careful drafting to anticipate:
- Possible remarriage or new relationships
- Changes in asset composition over time
- Protection against a surviving spouse depleting assets in ways that contradict the couple’s original intentions
- Balance between the surviving spouse’s financial security and children’s eventual inheritance
Scenario example: A couple in their 60s, each with children from first marriages, owns an apartment in Ramat Gan and investment accounts. Without proper planning, the surviving spouse might inherit everything, potentially leaving the deceased spouse’s children with nothing. A well-drafted mutual will can ensure the surviving spouse can live comfortably while guaranteeing that each spouse’s children eventually receive their parent’s share.
Our firm offers comprehensive planning that integrates wills, marital property agreements, continuing powers of attorney, and real estate strategies into a coherent long-term plan—providing both peace of mind and protection against common inheritance disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inheritance Lawyers in Israel
When should I contact an inheritance lawyer in Israel? Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a death occurs or when you learn of assets in Israel. Early legal guidance prevents mistakes—such as signing premature agreements between heirs—that can create problems later. If you’re planning your estate, consulting a lawyer before drafting a will ensures it meets all legal requirements.
Can I handle an Israeli probate application alone if I live abroad? Technically possible, but practically very difficult. The process requires Hebrew-language filings, responses to Registrar queries, potential court appearances, and coordination with Israeli banks and the Land Registry. Most foreign residents benefit significantly from professional legal support and representation through power of attorney.
How long does an uncontested probate or succession procedure usually take? Standard cases typically take 3-6 months from filing to receiving the order. Delays can occur if documents are missing, translations are needed, or the Registrar raises queries. Contested matters—where someone objects to the will or claims heir status—can take considerably longer, sometimes over a year.
What documents do I need to start an inheritance process in Israel? Essential relevant documents include: the original will (if one exists), death certificate (with apostille if issued abroad), identification documents of all heirs, marriage certificate if the surviving spouse is claiming, and any property deeds or bank statements identifying assets. Our office assists with obtaining and translating missing documents.
Can Derri Rifer & Co represent me if I live outside Israel and never visit the country? Yes. We regularly represent international clients entirely remotely. This requires a notarized power of attorney allowing us to act on your behalf in all legal proceedings. Communication is conducted via email, video calls, and phone, with documents exchanged electronically or by courier as needed.
Is there inheritance tax in Israel, and what taxes might I still face? Israel does not impose inheritance or estate tax. However, if you sell inherited real estate, capital gains tax may apply. If heirs buy out other heirs’ shares in property, purchase tax may be triggered. Additionally, if you reside in another country, that country’s tax laws may require you to report or pay tax on inherited assets.
