Frequently Asked Questions — Wills in Adam
Do you handle wills and estates for clients in Adam?+
Yes. Adv. Liron Yitzhak Elmaliach drafts wills and handles all estate matters for clients in Adam and the broader Jerusalem region, including probate orders, succession orders, and estate administration.
What types of wills are recognised under Israeli law?+
Israeli law recognises four types: (1) Handwritten will — written, dated, and signed entirely in the testator's own handwriting; (2) Witnessed will — signed in the presence of two witnesses; (3) Notarial will — prepared and executed before a notary; (4) Oral will (shkhiv mera) — for those facing imminent death. Each type has its own requirements and a lawyer can advise on the most appropriate form.
What is a probate order (tzav kiyum tzava'ah)?+
A probate order is a court order validating a will and authorising its execution. It is issued by the Family Affairs Court or the Rabbinical Court after publication and an opportunity for objections. A succession order (tzav yerusha) serves a similar function when there is no will — it establishes who the legal heirs are.
Can a will be contested in Israel?+
Yes. A will can be contested on grounds including undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, fraud, or formal defects. The court will examine the circumstances of execution and the testator's mental state. Even a formally valid will may be set aside if the process was improper.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Israel?+
Without a will, the estate passes under the Succession Law 1965. The order of inheritance is: spouse, children and their descendants, parents and their descendants, grandparents and their descendants. A spouse inherits alongside children. The specific shares depend on the family structure at the time of death.
Can I update my will after it is made?+
Yes — and it is advisable to review your will after major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or acquisition of significant assets. A new will generally revokes a prior one, but care must be taken to ensure the revocation is clear and the new document meets all formal requirements.
