Inheritance law is the branch of law that regulates to whom and in what proportions a person’s assets will pass after their death. In Turkey, inheritance law is applied in line with the provisions of the Turkish Civil Code.
Legal heirs, appointed heirs and the concept of the reserved portion are the fundamental elements of inheritance law. Disputes frequently arise among heirs during the distribution of an estate. In this context, matters such as renunciation of inheritance, distribution of the estate, abatement actions and disinheritance come to the fore.
Wills and inheritance agreements allow a person to arrange their intentions regarding their assets while still alive. However, the validity of these documents and their compliance with reserved portions are subject to legal review. Among the most frequently filed cases in inheritance law are partition (izale-i şuyu), determination of the estate, and title cancellation and registration actions.
The correct management of inheritance relationships is of great importance both for protecting the rights of heirs and for preventing long-running disputes. For this reason, processes relating to inheritance law must be assessed with care.
