What happened
- 01A Jerusalem court awarded a woman primary rights to a 90 million shekel property based on a 1985 power of attorney.
- 02The document was discovered 17 years after the patriarch's death, following a burglary at the woman's home.
- 03The court rejected claims of statute of limitations, citing the document's inaccessible location.
- 04The ruling overturns the original inheritance distribution among the patriarch's children.
- 05The defendants were ordered to pay 110,000 shekels in legal fees and costs.
The document, signed in 1985, designated the plaintiff's late husband as the main beneficiary, but his siblings had already inherited the land. The court rejected claims of a statute of limitations, stating the plaintiff was unaware of the document until it was found after a burglary. The ruling mandates a change in land rights registration to reflect the power of attorney's terms.
