Inheritance by Law

When a person passes away without leaving a will, the distribution of their estate is governed by the Inheritance Law, 5725–1965. The law establishes a priority order among heirs — spouses, children, parents, siblings — with each entitled to a defined share of the estate.

The legal process requires filing a petition for an inheritance order with the Registrar of Estates. The application is accompanied by identification documents, affidavits, and declarations, and may require publication in official records and locating unknown heirs.

Our firm guides families through every stage of the process — from submitting the petition, through managing potential objections, to receiving the order and distributing the assets. We operate with efficiency and empathy, understanding that this is a sensitive period for the family.
