What Is Inheritance Law?
Inheritance law governs how a deceased person’s assets are distributed. In Turkey, inheritance distribution follows the Civil Code. Legal heirs include the spouse, children, and other relatives.
Distribution is based on a will, if one exists. If there is no will, statutory inheritance shares apply. Obtaining legal support is crucial to protect heirs’ rights during this process.
Inheritance Distribution Process
The process begins with identifying the deceased’s assets. If heirs agree, the distribution proceeds. In case of disputes, the matter is resolved through court proceedings.
Can Inheritance Be Rejected?
Yes, heirs can reject an inheritance, typically when debts exceed assets. A rejection must be filed with the civil court within three months.
