Inheritance & Estate Lawyer in Istanbul
Succession & Estate Division
Inheritance law is often intertwined with sensitive family relationships, so it requires an approach that is both legal and human. Following deadlines and procedures correctly prevents the loss of rights.
Key Matters in Inheritance Proceedings
The main matters include obtaining a certificate of inheritance, renouncing an inheritance, dividing an estate, actions for reduction (tenkis) to protect the reserved portion, and actions for sham transactions by the deceased (muris muvazaası) against the removal of assets from the estate. Statutory deadlines are especially critical in proceedings such as renouncing an inheritance.
How the Process Works
First, we listen to your situation and assess your legal options in an initial consultation. Then we determine the strategy and roadmap that best serves your interests, prepare the necessary documents, and start the process. We follow litigation, inheritance procedures, and official applications from start to finish; we manage hearings, notifications, and deadlines on your behalf. We keep you regularly informed and move forward with a results-oriented approach.
We serve individual and corporate clients in Bakırköy and throughout Istanbul. For detailed information, you can request an initial consultation.
