Inheritance Law

Inheritance law regulates the distribution of a person’s assets among heirs after their death and is one of the legal fields where family disputes occur most frequently. Obtaining a certificate of inheritance, division of inheritance, collusive transaction (asset smuggling) lawsuits (muris muvazaası), reduction lawsuits for the protection of reserved shares (tenkis), rejection of inheritance, and the annulment of wills are the primary topics in this field. Claims for the dissolution of partnership (izale-i şuyu) in disputes arising during the sale of inherited real estate, determination of the estate, and equalization of inheritance also frequently arise. Missing deadlines in inheritance cases can lead to irreversible losses of rights; for example, there is only a three-month period for the rejection of an inheritance. Therefore, proceeding with an expert attorney from the very beginning of the inheritance process both protects your rights and prevents the prolongation of intra-family conflicts.
