Israeli Estate Settlement Navigator
Trusted78/100An operational project manager for all the bureaucracy after a death in Israel. Use it when someone has died and the family needs to know what to do and in what order, from the first 72 hours to the end of the first year. It builds a dated timeline, a document-collection checklist, and ready-to-send notification and account-closure letters, covering the death certificate, the burial grant, the institution notification cascade, and the asset transfers that happen after the order, so nothing is missed and nothing is paid for twice. Do NOT use it to write a will or to obtain a succession order (צו ירושה) or probate order (that is israeli-wills-inheritance), or to check survivor-allowance or life-insurance eligibility (that is israeli-survivor-benefits-navigator).

When someone dies in Israel, the family is grieving and, at the same time, is handed a maze of offices, forms, and phone numbers with no map. People visit the bank before they have the certified copies they need, wait months for a survivor allowance they were never told they had to actively claim, and pay for things the state already covers. This skill is the calm project manager: it turns the chaos into a dated to-do list, tells you which office to visit in which order, and drafts the letters so nothing is missed and nothing is paid for twice.

Author: skills-ilWrite a legally-valid Israeli will and navigate the inheritance process under the Succession Law. The skill drafts a witnessed will (צוואה בעדים), which Israeli law does not require a lawyer for (though a lawyer's review is recommended): you write your wishes, date and sign, and two witnesses (who may not be beneficiaries or their spouses) sign too. It explains the four will types, how to deposit the will with the Inheritance Registrar, and how to get a succession order (צו ירושה, when there is no will) or a probate order (צו קיום צוואה, when there is a will). Use when you want to write a will, deposit it, or when a relative has died and you need an order. Note: an enduring power of attorney needs a certified attorney (see israeli-elder-care-navigator), and a contested estate or complex assets need a lawyer. This skill is not a substitute for legal advice.

Use when user asks about small claims procedures, filing a lawsuit for consumer disputes, landlord-tenant claims, service complaints, court forms, filing fees, or self-representation in Israeli courts. Covers claim limits (NIS 39,900), the filing process via gov.il, evidence preparation, hearing procedures, judgments, and enforcement through the execution office (Hotza'a LaPo'al).

Use it when someone in your family came from Europe and you want to know if a passport is within reach and how to file it yourself instead of paying an agency thousands of shekels. Do NOT use for immigrating to Israel, work or relocation visas, or as a substitute for a licensed immigration lawyer on a complex or contested case.
