Inheritance Law in Turkey has many rules which will be executed for any individual cases. When a person dies, the property and the money of deceased will be divided between heredes or heirs. But the questions come in this stage:
Inheritance Law in Turkey is governed by the Turkish Civil Code, which ensures the fair distribution of a deceased person’s estate among heirs. When someone passes away, their property, money, and assets are transferred to their legal heirs. The process begins with identifying the heirs, which typically include the spouse, children, and other close family members, depending on the family structure. If the deceased has no close relatives, the estate may pass to the state.
The division of the inheritance depends on specific rules. For instance, the spouse and children are primary heirs. If the deceased had children, they share the inheritance equally, while the spouse is entitled to a portion alongside them. If there are no children, the inheritance is divided among other relatives, such as siblings or parents. Each heir’s share is determined based on their relationship to the deceased. It’s also important to note that Turkish law recognizes the concept of a reserved portion, which protects certain family members’ rights to a mandatory share of the inheritance, even if a will specifies otherwise.
Inheritance in Turkey is subject to tax, but the rates are relatively low and depend on the value of the inherited assets and the heir’s relationship to the deceased. Immediate family members often pay less tax than distant relatives or unrelated beneficiaries. To ensure that the inheritance process is managed correctly and efficiently, consulting is highly recommended. For more detailed advice, feel free to reach out to us directly!
