Inheritance Law

An estate review goes beyond the assets to be divided. Liabilities can affect the heirs’ options and the appropriate legal approach.

A will does not by itself resolve every estate issue. The document, assets, heirs and other transactions still need to be considered together.

Heirship and civil records; Known assets and liabilities; Wills or transfer records. Organise these alongside a chronology. Agree how to share sensitive documents before the meeting.

We identify the heirs and available documents, then consider assets, debts, wills and transfers to clarify the scope of the request.

First establish the heirs, the estate’s assets and debts, and any will or earlier transfers. If an agreed division is not possible, a claim for division or dissolution of co-ownership concerning particular assets may be considered according to the dispute.

Izale-i şuyu is the older Turkish term for dissolution of co-ownership. Co-ownership of an inherited property can be brought to an end. The co-owners, property and pre-action mediation requirement must be assessed; a claim does not automatically result in sale.

No. Whether division in kind is possible is considered first. If it is not, a sale and distribution of the proceeds may be considered. Any agreement among heirs, the form of ownership and the property’s features affect the outcome.

Assets, liabilities, the heir’s actions and the type of renunciation available must be assessed together. Statutory periods matter, so death and inheritance records should be reviewed promptly.

A purported sale or transfer that allegedly conceals a gift may be examined as a sham transaction. Land records, price, family relationships and context all matter; not every family transfer is a sham.

No. Reduction concerns certain dispositions alleged to infringe a reserved share; division allocates estate property among those entitled. Transactions, heirs and time limits require separate review.
