My husband and I gifted our daughter with an apartment. Unfortunately, she has died’ we also fell ill, the situation changed, for the worse, and we consequently asked the lawyer who prepared the papers, to cancel it. To our dismay, despite our clear demand, the lawyer went on and registered the apartment in our grandson’s name (our daughter’s heir). Is it still legally possible to cancel our gift?

Yes! If you can prove that you have notified the lawyer in writing of the cancelation before he registered the apartment, and that you have grounds to change your wishes, then it is possible under section 5 of the Gift Act of 1968 as ruled by the Family Court in Tel Aviv on July 30th 2024 (case # 23607-03-21).
