On the Laws of Inheritance and Wills in Israel
The field of wills and inheritance in Israel is regulated by the Inheritance Law, 1965 (hereinafter: the Inheritance Law).
The Inheritance Law was enacted before May and deals with all issues related to wills and inheritances, ie - how to make a will, how to settle cases where the deceased did not leave a will, which court is authorized to judge in matters of wills and inheritance, what can be done in cases of opposition to an inheritance order and more.
What is inheritance?
Under the Inheritance Act, an inheritance is the transfer of the property of a deceased to an heir by law. In the event that the deceased left a will, the inheritance will be called "inheritance by will". The heirs will be all the persons, bodies and legal entities who appeared in the will of the deceased, and the division of the estate will be made in accordance with what is stated in the will.
Order of heirs in the absence of a will
Unfortunately, many people do not bother to leave an orderly will. In the event that no will has been written, the Inheritance Act establishes default rules. This type of inheritance will be called "inheritance by law".
Section 10 of the Inheritance Act stipulates that the heirs of a deceased person will be his children who will inherit half of his property and his daughter or spouse, who will inherit the other half of the property.
- If the deceased does not leave children, siblings or parents, his spouse will inherit the entire estate.
- If the deceased did not leave a spouse or children, his parents and brother will share the entire estate.
- In the event that the deceased left children but did not leave a spouse, his inheritance will be divided equally between children. If children of the deceased are not alive, the inheritance will be divided among his grandchildren.
- The estate of a deceased person who has left no children, spouse, others or parents will be divided equally between the parents of the deceased's parents and their descendants.
- In the event that the deceased had no relatives who were entitled to inherit him under the law, his inheritance would be transferred to the State, through the Custodian General.
Opposition to the will
In many cases, third parties object to a will or an order of succession. The three most common allegations in such cases are a super mistake in a will, rape, coercion or threats and an illegal will -
Super mistake in the will
It is clear that not every mistake in a will requires its revocation, but sometimes there are clear contradictions within the will that result in their revocation by the court. At the same time, the court has the power to order the existence of a will under certain changes, even in cases where some defect has been discovered in it.
Rape, coercion or threats
Under section 32 of the Inheritance Act, a will made in the event of threats, rape or coercion will be revoked. It is important to note that the burden of proof is on a person who claims that a will was made a threatening drum, coercion or particularly high rape.
Invalid will
Under section 34 of the Inheritance Act, an illegal will that contradicts the public good will be revoked.
