Will

A Tel Aviv court voided a will leaving an elderly woman's estate to a younger man, ruling he manipulated her emotional vulnerability. The husband of 42 years was named sole heir.

A valid will may not suffice to protect family property from a common-law partner's claims. Israeli courts increasingly recognize proprietary rights in pre-owned assets through cohabitation, prompting experts to advise early property agreements.

Judge Sagalit Ofek ruled that a mistake was made in the deceased's will. The judge noted the close relationship between the uncle and his nephew, describing it as that of a "father and son." The nieces, who attempted to profit from the error, were ordered to pay 60,000 shekels in legal costs.
