| Halachic Wills
Kosher Wills or Wills K'halacha
Halachic or Kosher Wills have a provision that makes the document Kosher or legal under Jewish Talmudic Law. The laws of inheritance are different under Talmudic law and many Jews abide by these laws. While Biblical and Talmudic laws of inheritance do not provide for a last will and testament, the Halachic Will is a valid document under Talmudic law used to allows the drafter to distribute assets as the drafter sees fit. Thus, the Halachic Will is binding in American courts and Bais Din.
Our office drafts such a document, is familiar with Hilchos Yerusha, and also conducts the ceremonial kinyon suder. David M. Schlachter, our principal, received training in this area, including tutorial by Bain Din Mechon Lehoryoa of Monsey, NY, and is in contact with local authoritative Rabanim.

Ideals in Raising Children
Another special issue that can be addressed in a will is how your children should be raised. While the exact dictates of your children's education cannot be enforced, guardians can be chosen that will be trusted to raise the children in the same beliefs as their parents. This is especially useful to those who are the only practicing religious Jews in their families.
