Civil law covers the legal relationships of individuals, and our office focuses in particular on its two most frequently encountered branches: inheritance law and family law.
On a person's death, the question of how the estate is shared among the heirs arises. Inheritance law governs to whom and how the estate passes. Disputes frequently concern the concealment of estate assets, the reserved portion, the abatement (tenkis) action, the drafting and annulment of wills, and renunciation of inheritance. Our services include obtaining the certificate of inheritance, preparing wills, estate inventory actions, opening and execution of wills, abatement actions, annulment of the certificate of inheritance, renunciation of inheritance, title-deed cancellation actions based on collusive transfer (muris muvazaası), and actions for the dissolution of joint ownership.
Family law regulates divorce, pecuniary and non-pecuniary compensation in divorce, division of property, custody of children, and alimony. Our services include uncontested and contested divorce actions, compensation claims arising from a broken engagement, alimony actions and their enforcement, the liquidation of the matrimonial property regime, prenuptial property agreements, establishment and denial of parentage, protection of the child's property, and the recognition and enforcement of divorce decrees issued by foreign courts.
For clients living abroad, we handle the recognition of foreign divorce and inheritance decisions in Turkey and provide support in English and German.
