In Turkey, inheritance disputes are governed by the Turkish Civil Code and related criminal laws. The law strictly protects statutory heirs such as children, spouses, and parents through reserved shares (saklı pay), and disputes often involve court litigation over rightful shares and wills. Violent acts resulting from inheritance conflicts are subject to criminal penalties under Turkish penal law.
If involved in an inheritance conflict in Turkey, it is essential to seek both civil legal advice for inheritance claims and criminal defense counsel if violence occurs or is threatened. Turkish courts maintain strict jurisdiction over immovable properties and enforce inheritance rights equally between Turkish and foreign heirs, emphasizing the importance of legal processes over self-help or violent resolution.
