Certificate of Inheritance
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 inheritance is a document showing that the heirs are heirs. The relevant article is arranged as follows;
Certificate of inheritance
Article 598- Those who are determined to be legal heirs upon application shall be given a document showing their heirship capacity by the court of peace or notary public.
Unless an objection is raised by the heirs or other testamentary creditors within one month starting from the notification of the appointment of the heir or the testamentary act related to the will, the person in whose favour the act is made shall be given a document showing that he is the appointed heir or testamentary creditor by the court of peace.
The invalidity of the certificate of heirship may be claimed at any time.
The answer to the question of where to get a certificate of inheritance is in the Turkish Civil Code. Certificate of inheritance can be obtained from the civil courts of peace or notaries. For the certificate of inheritance, the heir himself or his lawyer may apply to the notary public or the civil court of peace and request that the certificate be given to them. However, the point to be noted here is that; heirs who are not Turkish citizens can only obtain inheritance certificates from the civil courts of peace. Foreign heirs cannot request and obtain a certificate of inheritance by applying to a notary public.
