Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Succession Law to disqualify from inheritance an heir who committed suicide after intentionally causing the death of the deceased, or who was convicted of this offense. In addition, it sets that an heir against whom an indictment was filed for causing the death of the deceased will not be able to carry out transactions in the estate's assets (sale, transfer, withdrawal and more) until the end of the criminal proceedings. The heir's share in jointly held assets will be transferred to an estate administrator, who must settle the heir's debts from this share, while protecting the rights of the other heirs and the relatives of the deceased.
