Real estate inheritance disputes in Turkey are rarely about a single legal question. In practice, they usually combine several issues at once: who the heirs are, whether a will changes the normal succession order, whether one heir may continue using the property alone, whether the property should be transferred into the heirs’ names before any […]
Hidden assets are one of the most damaging problems in inheritance cases. A deceased person may leave behind property that one heir never discloses, a bank balance that is not mentioned during family discussions, a vehicle still registered in the deceased’s name, a receivable hidden behind an unfinished lawsuit, securities held through an intermediary account, […]
Partition of inherited property in Turkey is rarely just a technical step at the end of succession. In many estates, it is the real dispute. One heir wants to keep the family apartment, another wants an immediate sale, a third insists on maintaining joint ownership, and someone else argues that debts must be settled before […]
Protecting estate assets in Turkey begins long before heirs sit down to divide the estate. The most dangerous period is often the short window immediately after death, when ownership has already passed by law but the estate has not yet been documented, controlled, or stabilized. In that interval, real estate can remain unregistered in the […]
Inheritance disputes in Turkey often begin with a simple but legally difficult question: if a person dies without children, who inherits next? Many families assume the answer is obvious. In practice, Turkish law is more structured than family intuition. The Turkish Civil Code follows a class-based succession system. Descendants come first. If there are no […]
The short answer is yes, but not always. Under Turkish inheritance law, brothers and sisters can inherit, yet they do not stand in the first line of succession. Their right depends on the structure of the deceased person’s family at the time of death. If the deceased left descendants such as children or grandchildren, siblings […]
Inheritance disputes in Turkey usually begin long before a courtroom filing. They start when a death leaves behind unanswered questions about who the heirs are, whether a will exists, whether the estate contains debt, who may control the deceased’s assets, and how family members are supposed to divide property that has passed to them together. […]
The legal conversation around alternative marine fuels in shipping has changed fundamentally. A few years ago, the main question was whether LNG, methanol, or ammonia could realistically support decarbonisation. Today, the more pressing legal question is different: who carries the risk when these fuels are used, how are they regulated, and what happens when the […]
Ship recycling law is no longer a distant compliance topic that only matters once a ship has stopped trading. It is now a live legal issue for vessel owners, operators, financiers, managers, and buyers because the end-of-life phase of a ship is increasingly regulated long before the vessel reaches the yard. The International Maritime Organization […]
Ballast water compliance is no longer a narrow technical matter handled only by the chief engineer or the environmental officer. It is now a core legal risk for shipowners and operators because ballast water rules affect a ship’s certificates, onboard procedures, equipment, crew familiarization, port state control profile, detention risk, charterparty performance, and, ultimately, whether […]
