Before You BeginA Brief Introduction to Our Firm
A short introduction to our process: how the initial review begins, what we need to understand and what happens after your first inquiry.
In the kibbutz, the house and the right are not always the same.
In an agricultural holding, whether it's a farm or a kibbutz, it's impossible to separate the land, the family, the cooperative, and the Israel Land Authority (ILA).
Start with facts and documents, define what needs to be achieved, and only then choose the legal move. This way you can identify early what might delay the move and what can be resolved in advance.
A transaction in a kibbutz home sometimes looks like a normal real estate transaction, but in practice it may include additional mechanisms of rights affiliation, acceptance of purchasers, heirs and the series vis-à-vis Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the kibbutz.
What the service includes
- Check the structure of the rights and whether there is a full or partial affiliation.
- Examining suspension conditions that need to be entered into into into an agreement.
- Escorting opposite the kibbutz, Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the advising on factors.
- Risk reduction for a deal that gets stuck at an advanced stage.
In what situations is it correct to turn
- Before buying a house or right of residence in a kibbutz.
- When there are heirs, there is no registration or need for the completion of rights.
- When you want to understand whether the transaction is applicable and under what conditions.
A lawyer for buying a house in a kibbutz and for regulating rights usually requires a combination of checking rights, documents, agreements, Israel Land Authority (ILA), cooperative association and proper economic consideration. A focused check early on can prevent an expensive mistake or a move that is not right for you.
When does a kibbutz house deal require a special inspection?
If any of these situations are familiar to you, it is best to check the image before continuing.
Deal with an outside party
Selling or purchasing requires checking for approvals, uses, and unique costs.
A gap in front of the institutions
The registration, association documents and Israel Land Authority (ILA) resolutions do not present the same picture.
What's on the balance and arrangement?
You don't have to come up with a perfect case, these are the starting points that help you understand what's missing and what's important.
- Type of Rightagricultural holding, auxiliary farm, extension, affiliation or contractual right.
- The stakeholdersThe right holders, family members, heirs, association and Israel Land Authority (ILA).
- Costs and approvalsTaxes, purchase fees, surcharges and terms of transfer.

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.
Verified Reviewer★★★★★
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!
