What is Inheritance Law?

Who are the legal beneficiaries of an inheritance?

Inheritance law is one of the branches of civil law. It is the branch of law concerned with the transfer of all assets and debts that can be measured in money to the heirs of a person after their death. The conditions under which and to whom the inheritance will be left, equal distribution, and who the substitute heirs are are clearly stated in the laws. There is a right to object to inheritance lawsuits. You can claim your rights for all inheritance problems you experience in this scope, especially legal heirs, testamentary dispositions, wills, appointment of heirs, bequests of specific property, and inheritance contracts, by benefiting from the services of an inheritance lawyer.

Lawsuits for Hiding Assets from Inheritance

The descendants and ascendants of the deceased person receive a share of the remaining inheritance. Priority is given to the children of the person. The inheritance is distributed equally among the deceased person's children by the court. However, in some cases, the distribution conditions may change. If a child who received property rights from their father or mother before their death has waived this right and signed it in the presence of a notary, they must waive their inheritance rights. Or, if the deceased person has no children, the inheritance is left to their spouse or parents in order, and if they are also absent, to their siblings and more distant relatives. If the deceased person has a will, the inheritance is distributed according to the will. If the deceased person has hidden assets from the inheritance, their heirs have the right to file a lawsuit and object. The right to file a lawsuit exists for property distributions made outside the proportions specified in the law.
