If you will not sign in Israel, your lawyer prepares a yipui koach. You sign it before a notary in your country and apostille it under the Hague Convention so Tabu and banks will accept it. Keep it specific: this contract, this tax form, this caution, this guarantee. A blanket 'handle my Israeli apartment' mandate is how people discover the agent could also sell. Originals still matter; scans are not always enough.
