Istanbul inheritance lawyer handling agreed divisions, partition agreements and dissolution of partnership lawsuits for fair distribution of estate assets among legal heirs.
We provide legal support for fair division of inheritance assets among heirs.
Some heirs have reserved shares that cannot be violated even by will.
Heirs are determined by the parental-line system under Civil Code arts. 495 ff.: descendants are the first line, parents and their descendants the second, grandparents and their descendants the third. The surviving spouse participates at rates that depend on the line (art. 499). Statutory shares can be modified by wills or contracts. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
If the heirs cannot agree, any of them may bring a partition action under Civil Code art. 642. The court considers whether division in kind is feasible; if not, it orders sale and distribution of the proceeds. The process varies according to the nature of the property in the land registry. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
