You can make a power of attorney at home or in the hospital.
It is not difficult to execute a power of attorney in Israel. There are circumstances in which the principal is unable to leave their home, office, or hotel. In such cases, calling a notary public to the home is the only way to execute a power of attorney. The advantage of this service is saving time, as the notary will arrive with all the necessary supplies at the appointed hour. The notary will verify the signer’s capacity, ensure that he or she understands the power of attorney text, and enter the necessary data. After signing, the notary will certify the document, assign it a number, and enter it into the notary register.
A notary may refuse to execute a power of attorney in the following cases:
- The principal is incapacitated due to serious illness (e.g., cancer in its final stage), mental condition, or advanced age.
- The principal is unable to understand the consequences of his actions.
- Forcing the principal to sign against their will.
According to Section 4 of the Israeli Notarial Regulations, a notary cannot certify the signature of an applicant who is hospitalized or bedridden without a medical certificate documenting their condition. The certificate must be issued on the day of the notary’s visit and be in the form approved by law. After executing the power of attorney, the notary shall attach this certificate to a copy of the document and keep it on file.
Power of Attorney in Israel with a Certificate of Capacity
To execute a power of attorney on behalf of someone being treated in a hospital who is unable to leave, a medical certificate is required. This certificate confirms the principal’s capacity and is issued by an authorized hospital doctor.
To obtain the certificate, the notary must submit a written request to the head of the hospital department. The request should briefly explain the nature of the planned notarial act that the hospitalized person wishes to perform. The notary shall attach a sample medical certificate to their application so the doctor knows what information is required. The time and date for examining the principal’s capacity and executing the power of attorney are agreed upon with the notary within one week of the application.
On the appointed day, the notary meets with the doctor and collects the certificate. If the doctor decides that the principal is incapable of performing legal acts, he or she will notify the notary in advance.
Please note that a medical certificate regarding the principal’s capacity is an additional service, so an extra fee will be added to the final payment for the notarized power of attorney.

Power of Attorney to Receive Documents
If the principal cannot receive documents from a state institution or private company in person, a power of attorney must be issued.
This power of attorney can be submitted to a registry office, court, passport office, bank, or insurance company. The principal usually needs copies of family status certificates, medical record extracts, educational diploma duplicates, and other documents that require personal presence.
A power of attorney to receive documents can be executed on behalf of an individual or legal entity in any form, as there is no standard form. However, when drafting it, it is necessary to include the following information: the passport data and full name of the principal and proxy; the date the power of attorney was signed; the powers granted to the proxy; and the list of organizations and institutions from which documents must be received.
In most cases, a power of attorney to receive documents must be notarized.
Power of Attorney for Representation
A power of attorney that allows an attorney to represent the interests of the principal before third parties, public or judicial authorities, and financial and commercial institutions grants the attorney legal powers. In Israel, this is a special type of power of attorney that specifies the scope of the granted powers, the attorney’s address of registration, and his passport details, as well as the person whose interests he will represent.
The date of authorization and term of validity of the power of attorney must be indicated; otherwise, the document will not be considered legitimate.
