Inheritance Procedures

Inheritance can often be a complicated and emotional process, especially when dealing with cross-border assets and multiple jurisdictions.

At Pia Global Advisory, we specialize in handling inheritance matters for both foreign nationals in Türkiye and Turkish citizens living abroad, offering clear advice and assistance through every stage of the process.

Key Aspects of Inheritance Procedures in Türkiye

1. Legal Framework of Inheritance in Türkiye

In Türkiye, inheritance is governed by the Turkish Civil Code, which outlines the distribution of assets, rights, and responsibilities among heirs. Understanding the legal framework is crucial to ensuring that the inheritance process follows the law and that all involved parties are treated fairly.

• Intestate Succession: If the deceased did not leave a will, Turkish inheritance laws will determine the distribution of assets among the heirs.
• Testamentary Succession: If a will was made, it will guide the distribution of assets, provided it complies with Turkish law.

We provide expert advice on both intestate and testamentary succession, ensuring that all legal processes are followed correctly.

2. Determining Heirs and Asset Distribution

Identifying the legal heirs and determining the division of assets can be a complex matter, especially if there are foreign assets or multiple beneficiaries. We help clients understand who is entitled to inherit under Turkish law and how the assets will be divided.

• Heirs: Spouse, children, parents, and other family members are typically entitled to inherit under Turkish law.
• Asset Types: Real estate, bank accounts, and other personal belongings are subject to division according to the will or Turkish inheritance laws.

Our team will guide you through the process of identifying legal heirs and distributing assets in line with both Turkish law and any applicable international agreements.

3. Foreign Assets and Cross-Border Inheritance

For foreign nationals with assets in Türkiye or Turkish citizens living abroad dealing with assets both in Türkiye and other countries, the inheritance process becomes more complex. Our team is experienced in dealing with cross-border inheritance matters and ensures that all legal and procedural requirements are met.

• Inheritance Agreements: If you have assets in multiple countries, we advise you on how to handle international inheritance agreements, ensuring your rights and interests are protected.
• Taxation: We help you navigate the potential tax implications of inheriting assets in Türkiye, ensuring compliance with Turkish tax laws.
