Durable Power of Attorney

A Durable Power of Attorney (DPA) is a legal instrument introduced into Israeli law in 2017, allowing any legally competent person to designate in advance who will make decisions on their behalf if they lose their legal capacity — whether due to illness, accident, dementia, or any other reason.

Unlike guardianship, which requires a court process and judicial appointment, a durable power of attorney takes effect smoothly in accordance with the grantor's wishes. It can include directives regarding personal matters (residence, medical care), financial and property matters, and matters relating to the person's physical wellbeing.

Our firm is certified by the General Guardian to prepare durable powers of attorney. We explain all implications to the client, draft the document according to their wishes and needs, and guide them through the registration process with the relevant authority.
