Common Questions
Answers to the most frequent Israeli inheritance questions from non-residents.
Do I Need to Visit Israel to Handle an Inheritance?
In most cases, no. Non-residents can handle the entire Israeli probate and inheritance process remotely by granting a power of attorney to a qualified Israeli attorney. However, some situations — particularly real estate inspections or complex disputes — may benefit from an in-person visit.
How Long Does Israeli Probate Take for Non-Residents?
Uncomplicated estates typically take 3–6 months from start to finish. Contested estates or complex matters can take 1–3 years. Non-residents often face additional delays of 2–3 months for document apostille and authentication.
