Inheritance Law Services for Büyükçekmece

With its coastline, long-established community, and rapidly developing housing projects, Büyükçekmece is one of the centers of Istanbul's western side. The district's intense real estate activity brings with it title deed, construction-for-land-share, lease, and expropriation disputes.

Our office is located in Esenyurt, within the judicial district of the Büyükçekmece Courthouse. We attend hearings, site inspections, and enforcement proceedings at the Büyükçekmece Courthouse in person, managing cases with a team well versed in the practices of the local courts.

Inheritance law arises at the moments when family relationships are most sensitive, and its technical rules are strict. Once the 3-month period for renouncing the inheritance or the preclusive deadlines for an action for reduction are missed, there is no way back. Our office provides services across all inheritance matters: obtaining the certificate of inheritance, determining and administering the estate, dividing estate assets, actions for the decedent's collusive (sham) transfers (muris muvazaası — concealing assets from heirs), drafting and contesting wills and inheritance contracts, and renunciation of inheritance.
