Inheritance and Family Asset Planning
Inheritance law in Israel
Our law firm provides a wide range of services in relation to inheritance and wills. On the one hand, a properly drawn up will, helps prevent disputes and conflicts between heirs, and also helps reduce the amount of tax that may be imposed on inherited property. On the other hand, if there is a conflict over inheritance, ENR will help you to defend your rights to the fullest extent, even if the inheritance has already been divided – including inheritances divided years ago, especially if at the time of division you or your parents were living abroad.
A short list of our services in this area include:
- Consulting on and preparation of wills, including joint wills of spouses.
- Notarial wills.
- Orders to refuse artificial life extension – in case of incurable diseases, coma, etc. – according to the “Law on terminally ill people”.
- Consulting on issues of inheritance registration, the procedure for entering into an inheritance, methods and terms of inheritance acceptance, on issues of inheritance of certain types of property.
