Inheritance & Probate
Can my foreign will cover my Israeli property?
A foreign will can be admitted to Israeli probate under certain conditions, but the process is more complex than probating an Israeli will. The foreign will must be submitted to the Israeli Registrar of Inheritance along with a certified translation, a foreign legal opinion on domicile law, and an Apostille-authenticated copy of the death certificate. Even with a valid foreign will, heirs must go through Israeli proceedings before any Israeli assets can be transferred. An Israeli will in parallel dramatically reduces the time and cost of this process. See our detailed guide on Foreign Wills and Israeli Law .
