Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Succession Law regarding how an heir can renounce their share of the estate. Currently, they can renounce only in favor of the deceased's spouse, child or sibling. The bill expands this list to include a former spouse, someone whom the deceased regarded as their child, the deceased's parents, a sibling of their descendant, and similar family members. The bill also permits renunciation in favor of any person named in the deceased's will as a beneficiary. The amendment applies to applications for an inheritance order or probate of a will filed from the day the law is published onward.
