Borçlar Hukukunun temel kavramlarından olan "temerrüt" kavramı, borcu ifa etmeme ya da ifa teklifini haklı bir nedene dayanmaksızın kabul etmemeyi ifade eder. Borcun ifa edilmemesi halinde borçlu temerrüdü; ifa teklifini haklı nedene dayanmaksızın kabul etmeme halinde alacaklı temerrüdü söz konusu olur. Bu makalede borçlu temerrüdü ele alınacaktır.

Borçlu temerrüdü, ifası mümkün ve vadesi gelmiş olan borcun ifasında gecikme anlamına gelir. Kanun koyucu tarafından Türk Borçlar Kanunu 117. Maddede şu şekilde düzenlenmiştir:

Türk Borçlar Kanunu Madde 117: Muaccel bir borcun borçlusu, alacaklının ihtarıyla temerrüde düşer.

Borçlu temerrüdünden bahsedebilmek için Kanun'da şu 2 şart öngörülmüştür: (i) Muaccel bir borç ve (ii) alacaklı ihtarı. Ancak, Kanun'un lafzında açıkça yazmasa bile, temerrütten bahsedilebilmesi için (iii) borcun ifa edilebilir olması ve (iv) alacaklının ifayı kabule hazır olması şartlarının da sağlanmış olması gerekmektedir.

Inheritance Fraud Lawsuits: Legal Nature, Requirements, And Litigation Process

Inheritance fraud (muris muvazaası) is one of the most common inheritance-related disputes in Turkish legal practice. It typically arises when a deceased person (the decedent) transfers real property to one heir by disguising what is, in reality, a gratuitous transfer (gift) as a sale or a contract of maintenance until death, with the intention of depriving the remaining heirs of their inheritance rights. Although such transactions appear legally valid on their face, they do not reflect the parties' true intentions and are therefore evaluated under the legal principles governing sham transactions (muvazaa).
