Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
What We Handle
We obtain inheritance orders from Israeli courts on your behalf, fully remotely, without requiring you to travel to Israel.
We draft Israeli-compliant wills that work alongside your existing US documents, notarized and filed in Israel.
Comprehensive estate plans covering assets in both Israel and the US, including Living Trusts with Israeli holdings.
Full management of title transfers, Land Registry filings, and estate property sales in Israel.
As a licensed Israeli notary in New York, Adv. Vaknin executes documents fully valid for use in Israel.
We represent your interests aggressively in Israeli courts when a will is contested or an estate is disputed.
Adv. Yariv Vaknin
Adv. Yariv Vaknin founded his firm in 2014 with a clear purpose: to serve clients whose legal needs cross borders. He is one of the rare attorneys who holds full licensure in both Israel and New York, and he personally handles every cross-border inheritance and estate matter that comes through the firm.
Operating from 40 Wall Street in New York and with a team of 20 attorneys in Israel, Adv. Vaknin built a practice large enough to handle complex multi-asset estates, but structured to give every client direct access to the attorney handling their case.
What Makes Us Different from Every Other Attorney You Have Spoken To
Most US attorneys who help with Israeli inheritance must outsource the Israeli side to local counsel. We handle both sides internally. Adv. Vaknin is licensed in New York and in Israel, which means your matter moves faster, costs less, and stays in one set of hands.
As a certified Israeli notary operating from New York, Adv. Vaknin can execute documents that are legally recognized in Israel without requiring you to travel, visit a consulate, or find a separate notary service.
With 20 attorneys, four offices, and dedicated departments for family law, real estate, and litigation, we have the infrastructure to handle multi-asset estates, contested wills, and complex cross-border disputes without delay.
Inheritance matters are personal. We work with a limited number of cross-border clients at any given time, which means the managing partner is directly involved in your case from the first consultation to the final transfer.
Our litigation reputation was built on complex, contested cases that other firms turned away. If your inheritance has been disputed, delayed, or complicated by family conflict, we have the experience and the will to pursue it.
All communications, documents, and court filings are handled in both Hebrew and English by our own attorneys. You will never receive a translated summary. You will receive the full picture in the language you prefer.
Present on Both Sides of the Ocean
With offices in New York, Tel Aviv, and Northern Israel, we are positioned to serve clients wherever they are, and to act in both legal systems without delay.

What Our Clients Say
Israelis and dual citizens across the United States who trusted us with their most important legal matters.
My father passed away in Israel and left an apartment in Tel Aviv. I had no idea how to handle this from New York. Adv. Vaknin handled everything remotely. Within six months the property was in my name. I did not need to travel once.
I am an Israeli citizen living in Los Angeles for 20 years. I had a US will but nothing covering my Israeli bank accounts and apartment. Yariv drafted an Israeli will that coordinates perfectly with my American documents. Finally I feel protected.
Our family had a complicated estate dispute involving property in Israel. Two other attorneys told us it could not be resolved. Adv. Vaknin took the case and resolved it in court. Highly recommend to anyone with Israeli assets.
