Israeli Tabu Extract Decoder

Legal notice

This is a free information tool operated by an AI model. It explains what the entries on a land registry extract mean as categories, and helps you organise your own reading of your own document. All of its outputs are produced automatically by an AI model, with no involvement, review, or approval by an advocate. The output is not legal advice and not a legal opinion. It is a general explanation only: it does not read the underlying deeds or the file of your matter, does not check current case law, does not verify that the document you supplied is authentic or current, and does not examine your specific circumstances. An AI model may err, omit data, or present a wrong conclusion.

This tool does not tell you whether title is good, whether a particular entry is a problem in your transaction, or whether to sign anything. Those questions require a licensed advocate who has seen the whole file. Nothing here may be relied on as evidence, and before signing a contract, paying a deposit, or acting on anything an extract shows, you should consult an advocate. All use of the output is the user's sole responsibility.

Problem

Almost every Israeli property transaction produces a נסח טאבו, and almost nobody can read one. It is a dense page of block and parcel numbers, fractions, ranks, and note types, and the entries that matter most are the ones that look least dramatic. Buyers routinely misread it in both directions: they panic at a mortgage that is about to be discharged, and they miss a note conditioning any dealing on a third party's consent. Two structural facts make it worse. The extract is conclusive evidence only for settled land, and merely prima facie evidence otherwise, so the same document does not prove the same thing everywhere. And a very large share of Israeli homes are not in this register at all, so the reader's first problem is often that no נסח exists for their property and nobody has told them what they should be holding instead.

Problem boundary

This skill explains what an extract says and what each entry type means as a category. It does not value the property, which is israeli-property-appraisal. It does not cover purchase tax, transaction guidance, or rental agreements, which are israeli-real-estate. It does not cover defects in a new apartment from a developer, which is israeli-home-defect-report.

It also stops firmly short of one line: it will not tell you whether the title is good, whether a specific encumbrance defeats your specific deal, or whether it is safe to sign. That is the practice of law and it needs an advocate with the whole file. The skill's job is to make sure you know what to ask about.
