Fortunately, it is the case in Turkey. However, in order not to face any unpleasant surprise at the end, one should know -from the outset of the relevant legal proceeding- how to effectively use applicable legal precautions protecting its rights. Failure in resorting to such precautions on time may lead to severe consequences for any claimant.

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).
