Israeli law firm and notary specializing in international inheritances: Succession Orders/Probate Orders, notarized translations, Apostille, bank procedures, and international fund transfers.
End-to-end support – from the first moment until assets are released.
Who is this for?
- If your parent/relative passed away and left an apartment, bank account, or assets in Israel.
- If you live abroad (USA, Canada, UK, France, Argentina, Australia, Europe, Latin America, etc.) and don’t want to fly for bureaucracy.
- If there’s a foreign will and you don’t know if Israeli banks/Land Registry will accept it.
- If there are siblings in different countries and you want an organized process that prevents conflicts.
- If you’re concerned about delays, objections, or capital gains tax when selling an inherited property.
In Israel, banks and the Land Registry do not release assets “based on a foreign order”.
Without an Israeli Succession Order/Probate Order – accounts remain frozen, the apartment can’t be sold, and funds don’t transfer.
For foreign residents, there’s an added layer of complexity: documents, Apostille, translations, and sometimes foreign law.

What you need to know in advance
Frequently asked questions
Can the case be handled without traveling to Israel? Yes. In most cases, it’s possible through proper power of attorney, translations, and authentications.
We have a foreign court order – is that enough? Usually not. For assets in Israel, you’ll need recognition and a proper Israeli legal procedure.
How long does it take? On average, cases for foreign residents take around 4–6 months, depending on complexity and objections.
Is there inheritance tax in Israel? No. However, when selling a property, there may be capital gains tax exposure, and sometimes a foreign resident doesn’t qualify for certain exemptions – so early tax planning is important.
