Authority for registration and settlement of land rights (the taboo ), headed by attorney Shlomo Heisler, launches these days a system that seeks to prevent situations of theft and forgery of land. It is estimated each year are arguments for cases of fraud relating to the ownership of real property, including attempted theft of land or apartments illegally. often it is the assets of older people, or of land and property unoccupied for a long time. in creative ways and include falsification of documents and attempts of fraud related to the edicts of inheritance or court orders. beyond the damage to property of the property owners in real life, sometimes situations like this create complications since the lands are sold to third parties, may find themselves dragged legal entanglements.

A year and a half were the Ministry of Justice set up a system that seeks to avoid such situations, and these days it is launched. First as a pilot project that would last for three months. According to official spoke with "Globes", beyond the technological development, the system requires many regulatory approvals, as it is in the registry includes many personal details, and therefore development took a long time.

From that moment on, any change in registration of land, will be sent directly to the property owner.

"Globes" found that while the website, foreign residents can not subscribe to the innovative, action will be allowed outside the offices of the Authority itself.
