Enduring Powers of Attorney and Guardianship
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.

Family Planning

Enduring power of attorney is designed for a day when it is already difficult to choose

A good legal document should reflect the will of the person, the structure of the family and the possibility of implementing it when necessary.

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.

Enduring power of attorney is one of the most important legal tools that gives a person control over their futureeven in situations where they can no longer make their own decisions.

Unlike the appointment of a regular guardian, who is appointed by the court after a loss of qualification, enduring the power of attorney allows each person to determine in advance who will manage their personal, medical and property affairsrespectively, freely, and without the unnecessary interference of authorities.

At Attorney Karin Amsalem, under the direction of attorney Karin Amsalem, you will receive personal and professional guidance in the editing of Enduring Power of Attorney, appointing a guardian and legal solutions tailored to the needs of the family with sensitivity, attentiveness, and respect for human dignity.

What is Enduring Power of Attorney

Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows any person over the age of 18 to pre-determine who will make future decisions for him in the event of incompetence, due to illness, accident or old age.

The document is held in front of a lawyer who is authorized by the Custodian General, and is legally valid only after a deposit at the Ministry of Justice.

The power of attorney may include:

  • Personal and Medical Matters– Who will decide on a place of residence, medical treatments, personal routine.
  • Property matters– Managing bank accounts, assets, investments, real estate assets.
  • Preliminary guidelines– Specific instructions on how to behave in any area.
  • When interested in maintaining independence and personal decisions even in old age.
  • In cases of degenerative diseases or cognitive deterioration.
  • When wanting to prevent family disputes in the future.
  • As a wise preparation as part of an inclusive personal and family planning.

Difference between Enduring Power of Attorney and Appointment of Custodian

  • Enduring power of attorney – pre-signed, at the will of the person, and entered into force when necessary only.
  • Guardianship – an appointment made after loss of competence, by the court, sometimes against the will of the person.

Enduring power of attorney is actually a more modern, advanced, and humane substitute for guardianship and it ensures control, choice, and a dignified life.

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 🙏

Dvir Cohen★★★★★

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!
