Inheritance Law

Inheritance Law is the branch of law that regulates how a person’s assets will be shared after their death, and the rights and obligations of their heirs. Inheritance law determines the procedures and principles for the acquisition of property by both the heirs and the testator upon death and the sharing of this property. Inheritance law includes regulations not only on death, but also on many different issues such as inheritance arrangements, wills and the rights of the heirs.

Inheritance is the arrangement of the assets, debts and other liabilities left after a person dies. Heirs are the people who legally inherit the inheritance and the inheritance can be distributed by law or by will. Inheritance law determines the rights of heirs, includes regulations regarding inheritance contracts and wills and also provides solutions regarding inheritance cases.

Inheritance law is a very important area for resolving disputes between heirs and fulfilling the last will of the testator, and should be carefully considered regarding all kinds of assets, debts and inheritance contracts.

Basic Topics Covered in Inheritance Law:

1. Heirs and Inheritance Share: – Heirs are the people who inherit the property of the deceased after his/her death. Heirs can be divided into two groups as legal heirs and appointed heirs. Inheritance share determines the property sharing among the heirs.
2. Will: – It is a written document that determines how the assets will be shared after the death of the deceased. The will regulates the shares of the heirs and which assets will be given to whom.
3. Inheritance and Transfer of Inheritance: – Inheritance transfer refers to the transfer of the assets to which the heir is the heir. Inheritance can be transferred through transactions to be carried out at the land registry offices or before a notary public.
4. Inheritance Lawsuits and Objections: – Legal disputes that may arise during the division of inheritance may lead to inheritance lawsuits. Lawsuits may be filed in cases such as disagreements between heirs, validity of the will, objections to division.
5. Rejection of inheritance: – Heirs have the right to reject inheritance. Rejection of inheritance means that the heir renounces his right to inheritance. Rejection of inheritance can be done in order not to inherit debts.
6. Earnings Relating to Death: – The distribution of assets after a person’s death is among the rights acquired by the heirs. These rights can be determined by an inheritance contract or a will.
7. Cancellation and Invalidity of a Will: – Certain conditions are required for a will to be legally valid. If a will is not legally valid, it can be cancelled or deemed invalid.
8. Revival and Estate Transactions: – After the death of the deceased, the inventory of the assets and the estate transactions carried out in line with the requests of the heirs are of important importance.
9. Inheritance Tax: – During the transfer of inheritance, the heirs are liable to pay inheritance tax. Inheritance tax is determined according to the value of the transferred property.
