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.
The appointment of a successor child is a family decision with a proprietary result
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.
The appointment of a successor child is one of the most sensitive moves in an agricultural economy. A mistake in the appointment stage may produce a family dispute, dispute with the cooperative association or uncertainty about the validity of the transfer in the future.
What the service includes
- Examination of eligibility conditions and existing documents prior to appointment.
- advising on family agreements and preparing supporting legal documents.
- Examining the interface with the Cooperative Association and Israel Land Authority (ILA).
- Reducing the risk of future conflict around the agricultural holding and inheritance.
In what situations is it correct to turn
- If you want to know who will continue the business.
- When there are several children or potential heirs there may be conflict.
- When it is not clear whether an old appointment is valid or complete.
An attorney for the appointment of a prospective child in an agricultural holding usually requires a combination of a rights check, documents, agreements, Israel Land Authority (ILA), a cooperative association and proper economic consideration. An early-stage focused check can prevent an expensive mistake or a move that is not right for you.
When does the appointment require broader consent?
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 to check before signing

- 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!
