The family law branch in the legal world is a broad field that encompasses several independent legal areas. We'll mention the field of divorce and divorce claims, guardianship law, wills and inheritance, prenuptial agreements, and enduring power of attorney. These are the main areas. There are also more specialized fields that belong to family law, such as paternity recognition claims, child support or spousal support claims, common-law relationships, visitation arrangements, and more.

Central branches of family law are inheritance, wills, and enduring power of attorney, which many people, for understandable reasons, tend not to consider during the most important time in their lives to address these matters - when they are healthy and relatively young. As is well known, one of the parameters for the strength and validity of a will or the validity of an enduring power of attorney is precisely their preparation during the testator's or grantor's time of independence and mental clarity.

When such a document is prepared professionally by an experienced attorney, at a time when the document holder acted with independence, good health, and clarity of mind, it becomes extremely difficult to challenge the document's validity later. And who wouldn't want to give strength and validity to such documents?!

Israel's Inheritance Law (Inheritance Law 5725-1965) establishes various parameters for the validity of wills and rules for drafting or canceling each type of will. However, a person who wants to ensure the certainty of their wishes and guarantee they will be fulfilled completely, without entering various legal complications, can ensure this by having these documents prepared by an experienced attorney skilled in wills and inheritance matters. Equally important is doing this while their wishes and various choices remain free and not subject to external considerations and influences. The same applies if one wishes to prepare an enduring power of attorney.
