An inheritance certificate (veraset ilamı) is obtained from the magistrate of peace or a notary (Civil Code art. 598). The court route is mandatory in special situations involving a foreign element, adoption or correction of civil-status records. The certificate shows each heir's share and is used at banks, the land registry and the social-security authority. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
The inheritance certificate is not res judicata; any person showing a legitimate interest may ask the issuing court to cancel or amend it (Civil Code art. 598 last para.). New births, adoptions or the emergence of an undisclosed heir trigger a fresh certificate. Up-to-date certificates are needed for land-registry and banking transactions. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
