Israeli Estate Settlement Navigator
Trusted79/100An operational project manager for all the bureaucracy after a death in Israel. Use it when someone has died and the family needs to know what to do and in what order, from the first 72 hours to the end of the first year. It builds a dated timeline, a document-collection checklist, and ready-to-send notification and account-closure letters, covering the death certificate, the burial grant, the institution notification cascade, and the asset transfers that happen after the order, so nothing is missed and nothing is paid for twice. Do NOT use it to write a will or to obtain a succession order (צו ירושה) or probate order (that is israeli-wills-inheritance), or to check survivor-allowance or life-insurance eligibility (that is israeli-survivor-benefits-navigator).

When someone dies in Israel, the family is grieving and, at the same time, is handed a maze of offices, forms, and phone numbers with no map. People visit the bank before they have the certified copies they need, wait months for a survivor allowance they were never told they had to actively claim, and pay for things the state already covers. This skill is the calm project manager: it turns the chaos into a dated to-do list, tells you which office to visit in which order, and drafts the letters so nothing is missed and nothing is paid for twice.
