What is Inheritance?
Inheritance comes from the Arabic word 'veraset'. The word 'miras', whose origin is 'irs', means what is left behind. In a legal sense, it is property, money, and wealth transferred through inheritance. In the event of a person's death or absence, the remaining real estate, movable property, goods, vehicles, money, debts, and credits pass to their legal heirs. These heirs may be legal heirs with reserved rights or heirs appointed by the deceased. Heirs must perform certain procedures following the death to have rights and obligations regarding the inheritance left to them.
Inheritance Transfer Procedures
Certain procedures must be carried out for the inheritance left by the deceased to be transferred to the legal heirs. First, an inheritance certificate must be obtained, a declaration must be made, and then the inheritance transfer must be carried out. Inheritance transfer procedures can be done by one person or by all heirs together. For the transfer process, one must apply to the land registry offices. The registered real estate and movable properties of the person will be transferred to the heirs after the transaction at the land registry offices. There is no need to pay any fee for this. This process is among the gratuitous transactions. For inheritance transfer, an identity document, photograph, inheritance certificate, representation document if represented, title deed of the property subject to the transaction, and compulsory earthquake insurance policy are required. With these documents, the transfer process can be carried out by going to the land registry office.
