For Families

For families: where to start

Choose the situation closest to yours. Whichever it is, the first step is an introductory call.

We have a child with a disability

A will with a trust, planning for age 18, and a letter of wishes – one plan for their future.

Details →

Our family lives in Israel and abroad

An Israeli will alongside your US or UK will, an attorney-in-fact who lives overseas, and terms that sound the same but aren’t.

Details →

We want to plan ahead for ourselves

A lasting power of attorney, advance directives and a will that work together.

Details →

This is a second marriage for us

A prenuptial agreement, mutual wills and the family home – balancing your spouse and your children.

Details →
Same Words, Different Law

Same words, different law.

If you planned your estate in the US or the UK, some familiar concepts work differently in Israel. We explain the Israeli side in plain English and coordinate with your advisers abroad.

  • Durable POA / Lasting POA vs. the Israeli lasting power of attorney
  • Special needs trust vs. a trust under Israeli law
  • Living will vs. Israeli advance directives
  • Prenup vs. an Israeli prenuptial agreement (heskem mamon)
How We Begin

How we begin

Every family matter begins with an introductory call. Meetings are on Teams, or if needed at your home or at the office. A clear written quote before any work starts.

1

Introductory call

A call on Teams: where things stand, what matters to you, and how we can help. Then a clear written quote.

2

Roadmap Meeting

Once we start working together: who is in the family, what you own and where, which benefits apply and what is already signed – followed by written recommendations and the order of steps.

3

Drafting and signing

We go through the drafts with you, in English or Hebrew, until they reflect your wishes, followed by a formal signing.

Approach

How we work.

I.

Direct access

A direct line to the lawyer, with no intermediaries and no "account managers". Your emails are answered by the lawyer himself.

II.

AI at the core

The firm uses AI tools under a business licence to speed up the legal work. The technology complements professional work rather than replacing it, and every document is reviewed and approved by the lawyer.

III.

Practical thinking

The goal is an outcome that holds up in practice – a deal that closes, a will that is upheld, a power of attorney the bank honours. Every clause is judged by its effect in practice, not by its wording.

IV.

Pricing transparency

A clear written quote before any work starts. No surprises, and no "matter management" hours that were not agreed in advance.

Contact

Talk to us directly.

There is no contact form. Email, call or book a time that suits your time zone – in English or Hebrew. We usually reply the same business day.

Please don’t send medical details or diagnoses by email – we’ll discuss them in the meeting.
