Inheritance Law in Turkey

The population of foreign nationals who live in Turkey or have relatives living in Turkey, is increasing dramatically and so are the cases of inheritance that fall under the jurisdiction of Turkish Law involving foreigners. So, if you are a foreign national and wish to act proactively as regards to your movable or immovable property in Turkey, or if you stand to inherit property in Turkey or are the heir of a Turkish national, it is important to understand the Turkish legal system for inheritance. In most cases your interests will be best served by a Turkish attorney who is well versed in Turkish Inheritance Law and will help you avoid peculiarities in the Law as e.g. in the case that “If the immovable property has no heirs according to Turkish law and movable property has no heirs expect the foreign state according to the national law of the deceased, estate in Turkey shall belong to the state.”
