Inheritance Law & Wills for Foreigners in Turkey
Cross-border inheritance is rarely simple. When a foreigner has property, bank assets, or family ties connected to Turkey, inheritance matters can become legally complex and time-consuming. We provide attorney-led guidance for wills, succession planning, and inheritance procedures involving Turkey — with a focus on clarity, documentation, and dispute prevention.
Common Cross-Border Risks
Many inheritance disputes happen because planning was missing — or because multiple legal systems collide.
- Conflicting laws: different rules may apply depending on citizenship and asset location
- Missing documentation: proof of heirs, identity, and asset ownership
- Asset access delays: banking and property procedures can be slow without structure
- Family disputes: unclear planning increases litigation risk
Our Planning Approach
We aim to reduce uncertainty and prevent disputes through clear legal planning and proper documentation.
- Case assessment: asset structure and applicable legal pathways
- Will planning: tailored documentation aligned with your situation
- Heir documentation: structured records and procedural readiness
- Dispute prevention: clarity-first strategies to reduce conflict
