Complex Kibbutz Property Transaction Without Registered Rights Successfully Completed
A sale deal in the kibbutz without formal allocation of rights required a complex registration arrangement, handling vis-à-vis Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the kibbutz, and distributing rights between heirs – before it could be advanced for sale.
Outcome
The transaction was completed with full success after the regulation of all legal and regulatory barriers, including the registration of rights, the distribution of heirs and the acceptance of purchasers as kibbutz members.
The ChallengeThe property was in a kibbutz where rights had not yet been established, and the rights were not fully registered in the name of the deceased. In addition, the transaction included a number of heirs, including a heiress living in Germany, and depended on
Legal StrategyThe rights were formally registered through the Israel Land Authority (ILA), the kibbutz administration and the local authority, including payment of capitalization fees. The sale agreement was structured with conditions precedent tailored to the kibbutz
Why It MattersTransactions in kibbutzim without a formal allocation of rights require a deep understanding of real estate law and accurate management vis-à-vis Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the kibbutz. Proper handling makes it possible to avoid risks and lead the

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏

I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.

Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!

We wanted to understand what could be built on the property – units, extensions, etc. Everyone says something different… Karin made things clear, explained what was allowed according to the plans and what required approvals from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the committee. We finally understood where we stood.
