Gal Hason Adv. represented me in a dispute with my tenant.

I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Attorney Gal Hason, who guided us through a complex process of contesting a will with professionalism, sound judgment, and sensitivity.
The handling of the property co-ownership dissolution was thorough and responsible, but just as importantly, it was accompanied by clear explanations of every step and detail, which gave us confidence throughout the process.
Gal is a professional and compassionate lawyer who knows how to navigate sensitive and complex situations with care.

Attorney Hason handled my case with humanity and patience, providing a strong sense of confidence and, above all, a sharp understanding of my needs along with precise solutions tailored to them. He did all this with genuine care for me as a person, not just as a task.

If it is important to you to maintain your quality of life even in a situation of loss of capacity, you should know that only by signing a Continuing Power of Attorney can you ensure who will take care of you, make important day-to-day decisions on your behalf, and be appointed to manage your personal, financial, and medical affairs if and when you are no longer able to do so yourself.
In addition, once you have chosen the person you trust, you can make things easier for them by helping them understand how to care for you – all by providing clear and detailed instructions regarding your lifestyle, your medical care, your finances and assets, and by giving guidance in different areas of life so that these matters will be handled in the best possible way.
Do not leave the most important decisions about your future in the hands of others!
Adv. Gal Hason is among the first lawyers in Israel to be certified as part of the innovative reform enabling the preparation of a Continuing Power of Attorney.
Gal lectures in this field and has extensive knowledge and experience in drafting Continuing Powers of Attorney.
During the drafting process, Adv. Gal Hason will explain the options available to you, inform you of your rights, and guide you throughout the entire procedure, ensuring that the document accurately reflects your wishes in the best possible way.
First, it is important to remember that loss of legal capacity is not exclusively a result of old age. Legal incapacity may also occur due to mental disability or a sudden accident. Therefore, there is no age at which it is “too early” to prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney.
Second, a Lasting Power of Attorney serves as a modern alternative to the traditional guardianship process and eliminates the need for court dependency. It is therefore essential to understand the fundamental differences between the situation of a person who has executed a Lasting Power of Attorney and that of a person who requires the appointment of a guardian through court proceedings.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is an innovative legal instrument that forms the basis of a reform in guardianship law, designed to provide an updated and efficient substitute for the traditional guardianship process.
This new arrangement significantly eases the burden on your loved ones who may need to care for your affairs. Unlike the traditional guardianship procedure, it does not negate your rights or disregard your personal wishes should you, God forbid, lose your legal capacity.
While the appointment of a guardian is often a lengthy and bureaucratic court process, a Lasting Power of Attorney is a relatively simple document to prepare. Executing it in advance can spare you and your family considerable difficulty and stress if the need arises.
By signing a Lasting Power of Attorney, you ensure that you personally choose who will manage your personal and financial affairs at a time when you are no longer able to do so yourself.
Do not wait until it is too late and risk becoming dependent on a court-
Not every lawyer is authorized to prepare a continuing power of attorney!
The law stipulates that only a lawyer who has been certified by the Office of the Public Guardian, after completing a dedicated and specialized training program, is permitted to practice as a continuing power of attorney lawyer. Adv. Gal Hason from our firm is among the first lawyers in Israel to complete this unique certification and receive the required authorization to prepare a continuing power of attorney.
A continuing power of attorney is a special legal document that must be drafted in accordance with statutory requirements and guidelines, and exclusively by a lawyer who has undergone the appropriate training and certification.
The control remains in our hands and is not transferred to the court's authority. It is a simple process that prevents complicated bureaucracy with the court and eases the burden on the appointed representative (often a family member). We choose ourselves who will take care of our affairs in the event of loss of capacity. It allows us to decide when and under which circumstances the appointment will take effect. It ensures full control over our future and over how decisions concerning us will be made, by expressing our wishes in advance and giving instructions to the appointed attorney-in-fact. It also enables us to have an early conversation with the intended representative and conduct a “setting of expectations.”
A continuing power of attorney has no age limit, despite the common tendency to associate its importance solely with the elderly. This legal instrument ensures that our lives will be managed according to our wishes in situations where we lose legal capacity. It is important to remember that loss of capacity may result not only from dementia, but also from other medical conditions, accidents, disabilities, mental illnesses, and more — none of which are necessarily age-related. Therefore, it is recommended that every adult prepare a continuing power of attorney, to be deposited with their attorney.
After the final document is signed by the appointing person and their appointed attorneys-in-fact, the lawyer will deposit the continuing power of attorney with the Office of the Public Guardian through the online system.
