Yes. Adv. Liron Yitzhak Elmaliach drafts and reviews prenuptial and post-marital financial agreements (heskemei mamon) for couples in Arnona and the Jerusalem region, handling the required court or notarial approval.

A prenuptial agreement (heskemei mamon) is a legally binding financial agreement between spouses that defines the ownership of assets — both existing and future — and overrides the default rules of Israeli family property law. It can address the family home, business assets, pension rights, and inheritance. To be enforceable, it must be approved by the Family Affairs Court or a notary.

Yes. A financial agreement can be made at any point during the marriage — not only before the wedding. Post-marital agreements are common when one spouse inherits assets, starts a business, or when circumstances change. The approval process is the same as for pre-marital agreements.

Prenuptial agreements are particularly important for second marriages, where both parties often have significant assets, children from prior relationships, and existing financial obligations. The agreement can protect children's inheritance rights and define clearly which assets remain separate property.

An approved prenuptial agreement can be challenged if it was signed under duress, without informed consent, or if circumstances have changed so dramatically that enforcement would be unfair. Courts may also scrutinise agreements that leave one spouse with nothing. Proper legal advice at the drafting stage significantly reduces these risks.

A prenuptial agreement can address almost any asset: the family home, savings accounts, investment portfolios, business interests, shares, pension rights, inheritances, and gifts from parents. It can also address future assets and define what happens in the event of divorce or death.
