Inheritance Law: Securing Your Legacy
Inheritance law is a critical field that governs the transfer of a person's assets and debts after their death. It provides the legal framework for how property, money, and other rights are passed on to heirs and beneficiaries. Properly planning for the future is essential to ensure your wishes are carried out and to protect your loved ones.
Our services provide comprehensive guidance on all aspects of inheritance law, with a focus on helping both Turkish and foreign clients navigate complex succession issues. Whether you have assets in Turkey or are dealing with a cross-border estate, we offer tailored solutions to secure your legacy.
Key areas of our expertise in inheritance law include:
Wills and Succession Planning: We assist in drafting legally sound wills and other succession documents. This process ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimizing the potential for future disputes and legal complications.
Administration of Estates: When a loved one passes away, we guide heirs through the entire process of estate administration. This includes obtaining the necessary legal certificates, identifying and valuing assets, settling debts, and distributing the inheritance according to the law or a valid will.
Heirship Proceedings: We represent clients in determining the legal heirs of an estate. This is particularly important for foreign individuals who may need to establish their inheritance rights in Turkey or other jurisdictions.
Litigation of Inheritance Disputes: In the event of conflicts, we provide strategic legal representation to resolve disputes among heirs. These cases can involve challenges to a will, disagreements over asset division, or issues related to forced heirship.
