The Inheritance and Estate Administration Department is highly experienced in preparing wills, handling inheritance disputes and oppositions to execution of a will, administering estates and resolving disputes stemming from them.

A person may plan what will be done with his property and body when he is no longer capable of making sound decisions, and naturally, after his death. The Inheritance and Estate Administration Department is experienced in coming up with tailor-made and innovative solutions that will allow you to make fully informed decisions about your future and your property, whether by Enduring Power of Attorney or by preparing a will. The process of preparing an Enduring Power of Attorney or a will will be accompanied by questions and highlighting problems that may arise in the future, such as tax issues, and finding the most suitable solution for the family of the person signing the Enduring Power of Attorney. The preparation of Enduring Power of Attorney or a will provides a peace of mind and will allow you to live the rest of your lives in dignity and peace and will help your loved ones avoid any disputes in the future.

Unfortunately, oftentimes disputes arise between siblings, children, and even between children and the deceased’s spouse from a second marriage. The department represents inheritors in inheritance disputes, oppositions to execution of wills, and disputes related to the administration of an estate.

Before turning to the courts, we examine the reasons for the opposition and define the suitable strategy for conducting the proceedings. We also examine the probability of success and the risks involved in undertaking the procedure, including taxation issues, cost and alternatives, all in an attempt to avoid needless legal proceedings.

The department enjoys a wealth of experience in handling inheritance disputes and pre-estate disputes that arise prior to the death of the person. In such disputes, we act to minimize damages and forestall proceedings whose sole purpose is disinheritance.

Adv. Ayelet Tresser-Awes, who heads the department, is regularly appointed by the courts to various roles in family disputes, such as estate administrator, legal guardian, receiver, etc.

The Inheritance and Estate Administration Department will closely accompany you, whether in planning your future, or in resolving inheritance and estate disputes. We provide professional, tailor-made services, while examining every available pathway to reaching the best legal solution.
