Under the Inheritance Law, 5725-1965, a probate order grants the estate of the decedent to the beneficiaries and heirs as detailed in the decedent’s Will, allocating some or all of the property to a specific heir or heirs. On the other hand, an inheritance order is a general declaration of the identity of the heirs and their respective shares in the estate. The foreign judgment that was the subject of this case identified the heir, but also allocated specific property to the heir, in the absence of a Will. Under these circumstances the lower court held: “this document is an ‘androgynous’ document, with no equivalent in the Inheritance Law, 5725-1965, and would raise legal questions if such a case was first brought before Israeli courts under the Inheritance Law. Under the laws of Nevada, however, this seems to be a valid judgment.” (D.C.C. (T.A.) 808/92 Agam v. Attorney General of Israel (PM Tashan (2) 408) §2).
