Many families have accumulated multiple residential properties over their lifetimes. Some of these properties were inherited, while others were purchased as long-term investments, providing both ongoing rental income and capital appreciation. In some cases, properties were acquired as a retirement strategy—assets that generate income to support the owners in their later years.

In Israel, the transfer of properties through inheritance is exempt from taxes. However, this is not the case when children later sell the inherited properties.
