Frequently Asked Questions – Israeli Durable Power of Attorney Specialist in the US
Can my US power of attorney be used in Israel?
No. Israeli authorities require a DPOA executed under Israeli law.
Do I need to travel to Israel?
No. All steps can be completed in our US office or remotely.
What happens if I don’t have an Israeli DPOA?
Your family may face lengthy and expensive guardianship proceedings in Israel.
Can I sign an Israeli Durable Power of Attorney while I’m in the US?
Yes. You can sign in the U.S. before a notary public, then obtain an apostille (Hague Convention). In some cases, signing at an Israeli Consulate is also possible. We’ll guide you on the correct format so the document is accepted in Israel.
Will a standard U.S. DPOA be recognized by Israeli institutions?
Usually not. Israeli banks, hospitals, and government offices typically require an Israeli-format Durable Power of Attorney that complies with Israeli law and registration rules. We prepare the proper Israeli document and handle registration so it works in Israel.
What documents and timeline should I expect?
Commonly needed items include your passport, US ID, Israeli ID number (if any), agent’s details, and specific instructions (financial/medical/personal matters). Drafting takes a few days; notarization and apostille can add 1–2 weeks depending on your state. We coordinate each step to keep the process smooth and compliant.
What is the difference between a regular Power of Attorney and a Durable Power of Attorney in Israel?
A regular Power of Attorney becomes invalid once the principal loses mental capacity. The Israeli Durable Power of Attorney remains valid even if the person becomes incapacitated, ensuring continuous legal and financial management.
Who can be appointed under an Israeli Durable Power of Attorney?
You can appoint a trusted family member, friend, or professional advisor over 18 years old who agrees to act on your behalf. We recommend selecting someone reliable, ideally residing in Israel for easier execution of responsibilities.
Do I need to visit Israel to complete the process?
No. Most US residents can complete the entire process from the United States with notarized documents and apostille certification. Our firm coordinates all steps with Israeli authorities remotely.
How long is an Israeli Durable Power of Attorney valid?
It remains valid indefinitely until revoked or replaced by a new one. However, it only takes effect when a medical or legal condition defined in the document is met, such as loss of capacity.
Can I include both financial and medical decisions in one document?
Yes. The Israeli Durable Power of Attorney can cover financial, personal, and medical matters. We’ll help you structure it properly to ensure all your needs and preferences are legally protected in Israel.
Can I appoint more than one person in my Israeli Durable Power of Attorney?
Yes, you can appoint multiple agents and define whether they act jointly or separately. This allows flexibility—for example, one agent for financial matters and another for healthcare or personal decisions.
Is my Israeli Durable Power of Attorney valid immediately after signing?
No, it must first be approved and registered with the Israeli Ministry of Justice. Once registered, it takes effect only when the conditions you specify—such as incapacity—are met.
Can the document be changed or canceled later?
Yes. As long as you are mentally capable, you can modify or revoke your Israeli Durable Power of Attorney at any time. Our firm can assist with drafting amendments or submitting revocation notices to Israeli authorities.
