Provisions regarding the right of inheritance
In case of death of the foreigners having real property in Turkey, those real properties are transferred to their inheritors. The inheritors of the foreigner take a hereditary transmission document from the country of which they are citizens. Following the declaration of the foreign court decisions, an execution decision is taken by the Turkish courts based on this decision. The properties of the death person then are transferred to inheritors following this execution decision. Inheritors declare the hereditary transmission and pay a hereditary tax. There is no pre-determined specific tax amount for each inheritor in this case. Their tax share is calculated according to the amount transferred to them.
