In the event that someone does not choose to appoint a <\/span>meyupeh coakh<\/span><\/i> (and doesn\u2019t have an enduring power of attorney), the Israeli court will decide on a legal guardian (<\/span>apotropus<\/span><\/i>) who will be in charge of the well-being of that individual. Second, it is economical in that it spares the individual and their family conflict during legal proceedings as the family may not agree about who should make the decisions regarding the individual, also saving time and money, avoiding many hours spent in court in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n Only lawyers who have gone through special training are permitted to draw up an enduring power of attorney in Israel.\u00a0 Our law firm has lawyers who specialize in this for the benefit of our clients.<\/span><\/p>\n This article is one in a longer series on legal guardianship and enduring power of attorney.\u00a0 To learn more, see some of our articles on roles involved in the process<\/a>, drafting an enduring power of attorney<\/a>, what an apotropus does<\/a>, a living will vs enduring power of attorney<\/a>, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n Advocate Anat Levi from our law offices specializes in inheritance law and issues of guardianship in Israel.\u00a0 If you have any questions or would like to draft an enduring power of attorney, please be in touch.<\/span><\/p>\n [author_and_contact_info]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This article addresses an enduring power of attorney in Israel, what it is, why it\u2019s important, and the process involved in making one.\u00a0 This falls under family law, which is under the\u00a0Israeli Ministry of Justice.
