How is someone likely to know that an application has been made for an order distributing the deceased’s estate and how can they object if they wish to ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 03 May, 2022When an application is made for an order to distribute the estate by way of will or according to common law the strict procedural requirements cover notification of beneficiaries under any will submitted for enforcement and publication of notice of the application in an appropriate newspaper published in Israel . A notice in the newspaper relating to an application for an order to distribute an estate will state a deadline of at least 14 days for filing objections. The Inheritance Registrar himself will check on a national register to see if there are any (other) wills listed relating to the estate. If so, notice will be sent to those beneficiaries who have 14 days from receipt of the notice to object. Strict procedural rules govern the submission of the written objection and require inclusion of an affidavit and other documentation supporting the objection.
