Rahav Aharoni grew up in Rehovot, Israel, served three years in the IDF Givati Brigade combat unit and then as an NCO in HR and Operations, watched his father build a real estate brokerage firm in Israel, and went on to become a licensed advocate in Israel before eventually practicing in Beverly Hills. That background makes him, in practical terms, one of the few lawyers accessible to Americans who need to navigate Israeli succession law, Israeli real estate transactions, or Israeli estate disputes, situations that typically require someone licensed in Israel who is also physically and linguistically accessible in the United States.
The Aharoni Law Offices operates with offices in Beverly Hills, Tel Aviv, New York City, and Florida, serving US-based clients with Israeli legal matters alongside broader business and real estate work.

Practice Areas
Israeli Succession Law
When a US-based individual inherits property or assets from a relative in Israel, or has a stake in an Israeli estate, the proceedings must follow Israeli law and in most cases must be handled through Israeli courts. The firm manages probate, inheritance proceedings, and estate disputes in Israel on behalf of US-based heirs. This includes locating inheritance property, gaining legal possession, and settling disputes among co-heirs or beneficiaries.
Israeli Estate Law
The firm handles the full range of estate matters governed by Israeli law: locating assets, establishing rightful ownership, navigating Israeli court procedures, and resolving conflicts that arise in multinational estate situations. US-based clients who do not speak Hebrew and are unfamiliar with Israeli legal process have few options that bridge both legal systems; the firm’s dual-jurisdiction capability fills that gap.
Israeli Real Estate Law
Rahav Aharoni has over 20 years of experience in Israeli real estate transactions, valuations, and contracts. The firm handles property transactions, contractual disputes, valuations, and related legal matters for Israeli properties on behalf of clients in the US and internationally.
Business Law
The firm’s business law practice covers contracts, business dissolution, business finance, entity formation, franchising, mergers and acquisitions, and partnership and shareholder disputes. This work serves clients with Israeli business interests as well as US-based commercial matters.
US Real Estate Law
Beyond Israeli property matters, the firm handles US real estate matters including commercial real estate, condominiums, easements, eminent domain, homeowners associations, land use and zoning, mortgages, neighbor disputes, residential transactions, and water law.
Trusts and Estates
The firm handles joint US-Israel estate planning and succession, which addresses clients who have assets in both countries and need a plan that functions under both legal systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a US-based heir need an Israeli-licensed attorney?
Israeli inheritance proceedings take place in Israeli courts under Israeli law. An American attorney who is not licensed in Israel cannot represent a client in those proceedings. Rahav Aharoni holds Israeli Bar membership (since 2007) and can represent US-based clients directly in Israeli succession and estate matters, including probate, property claims, and inheritance disputes, without requiring the client to separately retain local Israeli counsel.
What is the Israeli succession law process for a US resident who inherits Israeli property?
Israeli law governs the disposition of property located in Israel regardless of where the deceased lived. An inheritance order or probate proceeding must typically be filed in an Israeli court (the Registrar of Inheritance or the Family Court). The firm manages this process on behalf of US-based clients, locates and assesses the relevant assets, and pursues legal possession through the applicable Israeli procedures.
Does the firm handle real estate transactions for US citizens buying property in Israel?
Yes. The firm handles Israeli real estate transactions, valuations, contracts, and related disputes for clients in the US purchasing or selling Israeli property. Rahav Aharoni’s 20-plus years of experience in Israeli real estate transactions includes his background growing up with a father who operated an Israeli real estate brokerage.
What are the firm’s languages of service?
Rahav Aharoni is fluent in English and Hebrew. The bilingual capability is essential for Israeli legal matters, where court documents, property records, and communications are in Hebrew.
About the Firm
The gap that The Aharoni Law Offices fills is narrow but real: Americans dealing with Israeli inheritance, Israeli real estate, or Israeli business disputes rarely find attorneys who are licensed in Israel, based in the US, and fluent in both legal systems and both languages. Rahav Aharoni’s background, from Rehovot to the IDF to Israeli bar membership to Beverly Hills, creates that specific combination. The free initial consultation can be arranged by calling 310-978-5599. Current address information should be confirmed through the firm’s website at https://aharonilaw.com before visiting, as two Beverly Hills addresses appear in active listings.
