Shabbat Parashat Yitro 5784

Yitro | 24 Shevat 5784 | 03/02/2024




P'ninat Mishpat: Should the Will be Updated? – part I

Reuven and the defendant (=def) were married in a second marriage for each. Reuven wrote a will, leaving his main possession, a large, commercially used building, exclusively to def, and not to his children (=pl). Pl claim that in the year before his death, Reuven expressed several times to his children (sometimes in def’s presence) that he wanted them to receive significant portions of the inheritance. After his death, def also expressed her plan to give pl significant proceeds from the sale of the building, if she sold it. After operating the business for a few years, as Reuven wanted (claiming she did so as long as she was capable), def sold it for 1.6 mil. NIS. [Part I deals with the claim that Reuven meant to give pl an inheritance, despite the written will]. Pl say that once, when Reuven was in a quite good state of mind (which declined over time after writing the will), he told a son and his lawyer that he wanted pl to receive 60% of the property with def and her children receiving 40%. One of pl claims that Reuven gave him a note detailing who would receive each part of the property. Pl presume that the will was written under def’s pressure, and that his main reason for giving the whole property to def was that he wanted her to operate his beloved business. Def admits some of Reuven’s sentiment that his children share the inheritance, but she denies that there were specifics. She also points out that often, Reuven was not mentally fit.
