1. What legislation applies to arbitration in your country? Are there any mandatory laws?

In Turkey, the arbitrations are regulated by two main legislations: (i) the International Arbitration Law No. 4686 (the "IAL") and (ii) the Code of Civil Procedure No. 6100 (the "CCP"). Both laws are mainly based on the UNCITRAL Model Law and Swiss international arbitration law.

The IAL is applicable to disputes including a foreign element where the designated seat of arbitration is Turkey or when the parties or the arbitral tribunal choose IAL to be applied to the arbitration.

The CCP is applicable to the disputes which do not have a foreign element, as defined in the IAL, and where Turkey is the designated seat of arbitration.

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).
