How Can Our Israeli Estates Lawyers in the UK Help?
To inherit property in Israel, including real estate, bank accounts, or other assets, you must petition the Inheritance Registrar and then go to the family court. If your loved one left behind a will, trust, or the estate is intestate, we need to file a probate/succession order in an Israeli court.
You do not have to travel to Israel from the UK to claim 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 or beneficiaries under the will or intestacy.
- Preparing a foreign legal opinion for family court (if your loved one does not live in Israel).
- Close any procedure with Israeli banks, including revenue requirements for UK or Ireland residents.
- Wiring the funds to the clients in the UK and reviewing the accounting with the client.
We also have vast experience with helping UK clients contest the validity of wills or oppose applications for probate or succession orders efficiently and in a time-sensitive manner. We also suggest you register inherited property and handle any tax-related matters. We also work with our clients to locate any inherited property in Israel.
Can I Claim Abandoned Property in Israel from the UK?
Many of our UK clients we assist receive a letter from the Israeli government informing them that they are the relative of someone who owns property in Israel that has been deemed to be “abandoned.” We guide them through the process and use our in-depth knowledge of Israeli probate, succession, and real estate law to handle every aspect of their case, from establishing ownership rights to selling the property if they choose to do so. We also help our clients understand and address tax implications, and we take careful steps to protect their interests and maximize their equity.
