Lawyers can open in Adesco a dedicated trust account to hold buyer funds until all legal conditions are satisfied.

Adesco provides licensed trust account infrastructure, handling regulatory setup and multi-currency conversion so foreign funds arrive in NIS on the same day, within 48 hours of completed documentation.

The Madad is Israel's Construction Cost Index. New construction contracts link your staged payment amounts to this index, meaning each Shovar amount increases monthly as construction costs rise. For foreign buyers, this compounds currency risk: your NIS payment amounts grow while the USD/NIS rate may also move against you. Adesco helps clients plan their payment schedule with Madad adjustments in mind — request updated payment schedules from your lawyer before each transfer.
