The interesting story of how the Transfer Agreement (in Hebrew: “Ha’avara”), an agreement signed between the German government and Zionist authorities in 1933 to encourage Jewish emigration from Germany to Palestine, helped Jewish expatriates transfer their assets to their new home with the activities of two trust companies in Germany and Palestine. Taken from Alon Kaplan and Meytal Liberman’s book, Trusts and Estate Planning in Israel, 2016 and upcoming—Second Edition (Juris Publishing.)
