We understand that these issues not only involve legal intricacies but also personal and emotional dimensions. Our goal is to deliver clear, respectful, and solution-oriented guidance that ensures the fair and lawful transfer of assets in accordance with our clients’ wishes and Turkish inheritance law.

Estate Planning and Succession Structuring

Our firm assists clients in designing and implementing effective estate planning strategies to safeguard their assets and ensure smooth succession processes. We prepare wills, inheritance agreements, and family protocols that reflect our clients’ intentions while minimizing the risk of future disputes. For business owners, we offer tailored succession planning to facilitate the continuity of family businesses and corporate interests across generations.

Representation in Inheritance Disputes

Disputes among heirs can be complex and emotionally charged. AKALP HUKUK provides experienced representation in contentious inheritance matters, including challenges to wills, disputes over reserved portions (“saklı pay”), division of estate (“tereke taksimi”), and claims of undue influence or invalidity. Our lawyers are skilled in combining sensitivity with legal precision—seeking amicable settlements where possible and pursuing litigation when necessary to protect our clients’ rights and interests.

Cross-Border Inheritance Matters

With increasing globalization and cross-border family ties, inheritance cases often involve foreign elements such as assets located abroad or heirs residing outside Türkiye. Our firm has significant experience advising Turkish citizens and foreign nationals on international inheritance matters, conflict of laws, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign probate decisions. We ensure that our clients’ global estates are managed in compliance with both Turkish and international legal standards.

At AKALP HUKUK, we approach every inheritance matter with professionalism, empathy, and meticulous attention to detail. Whether you are planning your estate, resolving a dispute among heirs, or managing cross-border assets, our dedicated team is committed to protecting your legacy and ensuring a smooth, legally sound transition of wealth.
