How Can Our Israeli Estates Lawyers Help?
To inherit property in Israel, including real estate or bank account, or other assets, you must submit a petition to the Inheritance Registrar and from there to family court. If your loved one left behind a will, trust, or intestate, then we need to file a probate/succession order in an Israeli family court.
You do not have to travel to Israel from Australia to claim and record the property. We are e-filing the probate process for you, including:
- E-filing the application for the probate or succession order
- Submitting physically the original will or an application to verify the will
- Providing a certificate or declaration of your loved one’s death, including Apostille.
- Serving legal notice to all heirs, if any, or beneficiaries under the will or intestacy.
- Preparing a foreign legal opinion to family court (if your loved one did not live in Israel).
- Closing any procedure with Israeli banks, including any revenue requirements for Australian residents.
- Wiring the funds to the clients in Australia and reviewing the accounting with the client.
We also have vast experience efficiently and time-sensitively helping Australian clients contest the validity of wills or oppose applications for probate or succession orders. We also advise on the registration and recording of inherited property and handle all tax-related matters, if any! We also work with our clients to locate any inherited unclaimed property in Israel.
