Ensure your financial will is in accordance with halacha

We are excited to introduce Ematai’s Halachic Estate Shtar, a clear, user-friendly document that ensures your civil will aligns with halacha. It has been approved by Rabbi Mordechai Willig and the Beit Din of America.

What is a Halachic Estate Shtar?

Torah law assigns inheritance automatically at the moment of death to default heirs (“Torah heirs”), such as biological sons. If your civil will distributes assets to non-Torah heirs, that may create halachic problems since the estate is owned under Torah law by the default Torah heirs. A Halachic Estate Shtar (shtar zachar shalem) allows you to distribute your assets to non-Torah heirs without violating Torah law. Modern poskim support this practice, enabling full halachic compliance while using civil legal tools to secure one’s intended distribution. This approach preserves family harmony, supports charitable giving, and fulfills your wishes.
