Does Turkish Law Apply to Inherited Assets in Turkey?
As a general rule, immovable property located in Turkey is subject to Turkish succession law, regardless of the deceased’s nationality. Determining the applicable law at the outset is essential, particularly in cases involving dual citizenship, foreign wills, or cross-border estates. Proper legal structuring prevents delays and legal uncertainty during probate.
