Chabad - Lubavitch of Tel Aviv and sons of the deceased - in court: Leah Gottlieb z"l had a successful clothing company, 'Gottex'. With her passing she left behind a legacy estimated at tens of millions.
Newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported today (Wednesday) that the Chabad Center - Tel Aviv - argue that there existed between them and the deceased a friendship and that she has left for the Talmud Torah of the chassidus part of her estate.
The sons of the deceased claim that in the previous wills, since 2003, there was a section which gives Chabad 10% of the property, but there is a newer will, dated 2007, in which this section does not exist. According to them, the last will is that which counts.
Chabad in Tel Aviv turned to the Legacies Registrar and demanded to clarify the matter. In an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth attorney Yopsef David - Shachor representing them, said: "Gottex factory operated near the Chabad Talmud Torah Yad in the Yad Eliyahu neighborhood in Tel Aviv, and over the years a friendship developed between Gottlieb and the Torah institution managers. To our knowledge, she left a will which bequeathed a significant part from the estate. From the Chabad representative who was in touch with her it was not possible to conclude that any change took place in the inheritance set to Chabad, but to our surprise we discovered that it was indeed what happened and there is a new will. So we filed objections to the Registrar of succession, so that the court will determine which will is valid, and where was the section that guarantees part of the estate to Chabad.
Attorney Boaz Kraus, representing the daughter of the deceased, Miriam Rozo, told Yedioth Ahronoth: "We should respect the wishes of the deceased. The attempt to act against her will last is unacceptable. I have no doubt that the court will confirm the last will of the deceased, and anyone who tries to act against it will bear the consequences of his actions.
