Why this site exists

Turkish inheritance procedures are practical, document-heavy and institution-specific.

Foreign heirs often start with the wrong question: “Which documents do I need?” The better first question is what result must be achieved in Turkey. A bank release, title transfer, sale of inherited property, tax clearance or inheritance dispute each requires a different sequence.

This website is built around the questions that already show search demand: certificate of inheritance in Turkey, inherited property, inheritance tax, bank accounts, probate documents and estate administration for foreign heirs.

  • Identify the heirs and shares for Turkish practice.
  • Check Turkish real estate, bank accounts and other estate assets.
  • Coordinate tax, registry, bank and court steps in the right order.
  • Represent heirs abroad through a properly prepared power of attorney.
