Lasting power of attorney

A durable power of attorney document is a legal document that allows any person who has turned 18 to determine right now, as long as he can, how and by whom his affairs will be handled in the future when he is unable to handle it himself, provided he understands the meaning, goals and results of granting the durable power of attorney.

The appointer can give a continuing power of attorney for all of his personal (including medical) and property matters or only some of them. The way to do this is by appointing a proxy who will be authorized to act on behalf of that person in the future when he will no longer be able to make or carry out decisions concerning us himself.

Drawing up a continuing power of attorney can only be done by a lawyer registered with the Bar Association, who has undergone appropriate training and has been authorized by the General Guardian to do so. For more information: https://www.gov.il/he/service/continuous_power_of_attorney
