The definition of the certificate of inheritance, also known as the certificate of inheritance, is made in Article 598 of the Turkish Civil Code. As can be understood from the law, the certificate of heirship is the document that shows the heirs that they are heirs. The relevant article is arranged as follows;
Certificate of inheritance;
Item 598– Those who are determined to be legal heirs upon their application are given a document showing their title of heir by the magistrate or notary public.
Unless an objection is made to the appointment of an heir or testamentary disposition by the heirs or other testament creditors within one month of their notification, a document proving that he is an heir or testament creditor appointed by the magistrate is given to the person in whose favor the disposition is made.
The invalidity of the certificate of inheritance can always be claimed.
The right of action regarding the annulment of the death-related disposition is reserved. The answer to the question of where to get the certificate of inheritance is in the Turkish Civil Code. The certificate of inheritance can be obtained from the civil courts of peace or from notaries. For a certificate of inheritance, the heir himself or his lawyer may apply to the notary public or the magistrates’ court and request that the writ be given to them. However, the point to be noted here is that; Heirs who are not citizens of the Republic of Turkey can only obtain their inheritance documents from the magistrates’ courts. Foreign heirs cannot request and receive a certificate of inheritance by applying to a notary public.
