A notarized power of attorney discovered by chance 17 years after a grandfather's death has ignited a family inheritance battle over land worth 90 million shekels in central Jerusalem. The document was found in a daughter-in-law's home after a break-in, leading her to sue her siblings-in-law for a change in property rights. The judge ruled in her favor, rejecting claims of statute of limitations because the document was stored in a high, inaccessible cabinet. The case turns on whether a hidden legal instrument can override decades of settled family ownership.
