After the death of a person, the process of dividing the goods and properties left behind among the legal heirs is called inheritance sharing. During the division of inheritance, many legal and moral factors must be taken into consideration. Therefore, in order for the inheritance to be shared fairly and equally, it is necessary to proceed in accordance with the inheritance law.
The division of inheritance is made in accordance with the will, if the deceased person has a will. However, if there is no will, sharing is made according to the legal shares of the legal heirs. According to the Turkish Civil Code, half of the inheritance is distributed equally to the spouse and the other half to the children. If there are no children, the entire inheritance remains to the spouse. If there is no spouse, the entire inheritance is divided equally among the legal heirs.
During the division of the inheritance, the assets are assessed in detail. An expert or a lawyer can help with the division of the inheritance. To determine the value of the inheritance, the value of real estate, vehicles, bank accounts and other assets is calculated. During this process, the debts of the heir are also taken into account.
During the division of the inheritance, in case of disagreement between the heirs, the division of the inheritance is made by the court. The court takes the necessary measures to ensure a fair division of the inheritance. However, if there is still disagreement between the heirs after the court decision, the court can be applied to the court again.
As a result, when dividing the inheritance, the rights of the legal heirs must be respected and a fair division of the inheritance must be ensured. During the division of inheritance, the assistance of an expert or lawyer can help to avoid disputes.
