Usually yes. Those who inherit a part of the apartment may demand a dissolution of the partnership even if the other heirs objectthe right to exit sharing in the land is the point of departure of the law. But the timing and route depend on two things: whether an inheritance order or a will have been granted, and whether the rights have been registered in the name of the heirs. Before appealing to the court, one should check the documents, the status of the registration, and the question of who actually lives in the apartment.

As long as no inheritance order or will order is given, the apartment is part of an undivided estate, and it is not yet possible to conduct a regular dissolution claim between 'partners'. In such a situation the dispute is made clear within the framework of the division of the estate and sometimes it is enough to request the appointment of an estate manager to move a case stuck for years.
After a warrant is given and the rights are registered in the name of the heirs in Israeli Land Registry, each heir becomes a registered partner in the land, and is open to him the way to a dissolution claim. On the order of actions and documents for registration seeTebow rights registration after transaction, inheritance or transfer.
Living in an apartment does not, per se, block a claim for dissolution of a share. However, it does affect the procedure: the other heirs may require a proper use fee for the period in which one of them lives in the property alone, and the living heir may raise claims of reliance, investment in a property or the right of a section prescribed in the will. In cases of a spouse who is left to live in the couple's apartment, the law grants special protections that must be reviewed before each step.
For example: three brothers inherited an apartment, one lived in it for a decade without paying anything. The other two demand to sell. His refusal does not stop the process, but the court will review the totality of the claimsincluding a fee requirement for him and his investment claimsand most of the case will end in a price or sale upon the distribution of the proceeds.
In one residential apartment, the property cannot be divided in the eye, so the main route is a saleon the free market or in the prices between the heirs and the distribution of the proceeds according to the listed parts. The court can appoint a receiver to make the sale if the parties do not cooperate. Resolving a dispute inherits consent, even at a late stage of the procedure, usually saves tens of thousands of shekels in assembly costs and assessments.
In most cases, it is worthwhile to exhaust a structured negotiation first: an agreed value assessment, an internal purchase offer, and a pricing mechanism. A dissolution claim is an effective pressure tool precisely because it is difficult to stopand so the very fact of its orderly preparation often brings the other party to the table. If there is concern that the heir to the holder will perform actions on the property, one may consider registering a warning note or temporary relief, depending on the circumstances.
It is worthwhile to apply before applying for an inheritance order, and certainly before signing a waiver or division agreement. At this stage, it is still possible to design the result: who gets the apartment, how the value is determined, and what happens with the tax. Testing the documents will, estate, draft registration takes little time and prevents a commitment that is difficult to correct later.

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!
