Inheritance & Probate

Can a foreign national use a hiskamet yerusha for Israeli property?

Yes. A foreign national who owns Israeli real estate or other Israeli assets can enter into a hiskamet yerusha with their spouse or partner, and Israeli courts will enforce it in the probate proceedings.

The agreement should be drafted in Hebrew by an Israeli attorney and should expressly identify the Israeli assets it covers. Foreign nationals should confirm that the agreement does not conflict with their home-country succession plan, particularly for assets held abroad.
