Civil Procedure Code No. 6100 ("CPC") entered into force on 01 October 2011 by replacing the former Civil Procedure Code No. 1086. One of the most significant mechanisms introduced by the CPC was preliminary examination.

Under Turkish law, first stage of a trial is the initiation of a lawsuit and exchange of petitions, which is followed by the preliminary examination. During the preliminary examination, the court examines the causes of action, initial objections, points of dispute; and takes action to gather evidence and allow parties to submit evidence. The court further makes preparatory work and encourages parties to settlement or mediation at this stage.

Law No. 7251 on Amendment of the Civil Procedure Code and Certain Laws ("Amendment Law") entered into force upon publication in the Official Gazette (31199) on 28 July 2020, and it introduced, among others, significant amendments on preliminary examination.

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).
