Inheritance Clash

The access was given in good faith. The dispute is what turns it into a weapon.

Whether you're protecting a parent's affairs now or you suspect a sibling already controls them, we close the accounts, devices, and documents that others were once trusted with — in person, in a single day.

What's exposed in an estate dispute

No one took anything. It was handed over — with the best intentions.

A sibling who helped with the technology. A caregiver who managed the phone. A relative who "just needed the password." The access was legitimate; it becomes a weapon the moment the relationship changes.

  • The helper's account — an Apple ID or Google account a family member set up "in case there's a problem," still signed in.
  • The managed phone — messages read, drafted, and filtered by whoever was helping, so the family outside the home never spoke to the person they thought they did.
  • The documents — wills, powers of attorney, and the notes behind them, sitting in a cloud account more than one person can open.

The danger isn't a stranger. It's legitimate access that no one revisited when everything changed.

How it actually happens

The sibling who set up the iPad

When their father got an iPad, his older son set it up — entered the Apple ID, arranged the settings, stayed signed in "in case there's a problem." It was kindness, and for three years it was nothing more. After the father died, the same account was still open on the son's own devices: the photos, the messages, the health data, and the Notes app where their father had kept a running list of the changes he meant to make to his will. The younger children never knew the access existed.

The caregiver who answered the messages

In the last year of her life, an elderly woman's caregiver "helped" with her WhatsApp — reading what came in, drafting what went out, deciding what was worth passing on. The relatives who lived elsewhere believed, every week, that they were speaking with their mother. In the months the will was being revised, they were speaking with someone else. No one set out to deceive anyone; the access had simply been given, and never once examined.

What we do

We close every account others were trusted with — in a day, with you present.

We map the devices, accounts, and documents tied to the estate and the people who hold access to them — and, where it matters, how that access is being used now. Then it's secured in your presence: accounts recovered and separated, helpers signed out, sensitive documents locked, hardware keys issued to the executor and authorised family.

You leave with a signed Certificate of Hardening for the file.

Protection

A single executor or heir is typically covered by Personal Shield (₪15,000); where several family members or shared devices are involved, higher tiers apply. A Threat Assessment is ₪3,500, credited in full toward any protection tier within 14 days.

Questions
Can you tell me what a sibling has already seen or changed?

We can identify what access exists and close it; we don't reconstruct another person's past activity. The work is defensive.

I think someone already controls our parent's accounts. Is it too late?

No. We can recover and separate access now, and check what's currently reaching those accounts.

Can we do this while a parent is still living, to protect them?

Yes, and it's the cleanest path — access is organised before any dispute, not during one.

Will family members know?

Securing an account reads as ordinary maintenance; we handle it discreetly.
