Why Do You Need an Inheritance Attorney in Israel?

We dedicate much of our lives to accumulating assets and building a financial foundation for our families — savings, real estate, investment portfolios, and businesses. After years of hard work, most of us want to ensure our estate is distributed fairly and in a way that reflects our values and wishes.

Why Is It So Important to Draft a Will?

A will allows the testator to determine who receives what, under what conditions, and in what manner. Without a precisely worded will, the estate will be divided solely according to law — which does not always match the testator’s wishes, and may open the door to family disputes.

Vaknin Yariv Law Office provides an experienced inheritance attorney for formulating the legal wording of a will and protecting family members’ rights. During estate distribution, the office handles filing applications for inheritance and probate orders, gathering documents, and settling rights in assets including real estate, bank accounts, and companies.

Representation in Disputes and Will Contests

Our legal team specializes in handling will contests, clarifying estate disputes, and representing clients before the inheritance registrar and the Family Court.

Frequently Asked Questions — Inheritance & Wills in Israel

What is the difference between a will and inheritance under the law?

A will allows customized distribution rules. Inheritance under the law divides the estate according to fixed succession orders (spouse, children, grandchildren, parents), even if this does not match the testator’s wishes.

How do you apply for a probate order?

You apply to the inheritance registrar with an application form, identification documents, supporting documents, and the original will. The process includes a formal review and issuance of an official order.

Can a will be contested?

An objection can be filed when there is a claim of undue influence, legal incapacity of the testator, or defects in the form of the will. The objection is heard in the Family Court.

Who is entitled to inherit when there is no will?

When there is no will, the law sets a hierarchy of heirs: spouse, children and grandchildren, parents and siblings, according to family proximity.
