Guidance on Israeli real estate, taxation and inheritance for new immigrants, returning residents, foreign nationals and overseas property owners. Written and maintained by David Melnik, Advocate and Notary, admitted in both Israel and New York.
Aliyah and Israeli Taxation
New immigrants and veteran returning residents are entitled to substantial tax relief, and to reduced purchase tax on a first Israeli home. The scope of these benefits, and the conditions attached to them, are frequently misunderstood.
Inheritance, Trusts and Estate Planning
Cross-border estates raise questions that domestic planning rarely addresses: which law governs, how Israeli assets are transferred, and how newer classes of property are treated.

Real Estate Investment Abroad
Israeli investors acquiring property in Europe face a second tax regime alongside the Israeli one, and local rules that can restrict how a property may be used.
