Foreign Investment and Inheritance Law: Succession and Estate Planning

Turkey is an increasingly popular destination for foreign individuals and families looking to invest, relocate, or establish a business. However, navigating Turkish legal, tax, and financial systems from abroad can be complex without expert local guidance.

We counsel foreign individuals, families, and companies on all aspects of operating in Turkey — from initial investment and business establishment to long-term estate planning, tax structuring, and succession. In addition, we advise on all aspects of wills, inheritance, and succession planning under Turkish law — an area of particular importance for foreign nationals with assets in Turkey.

We also have extensive experience with inheritance matters involving shares in domestic and foreign companies, contested inheritance cases, and the resolution of complex international inheritance disputes thanks to our wide international network.

All legal consultancy and litigation processes in the field of inheritance law are carried out with the utmost confidentiality, ensuring the most comprehensive protection of our clients' legal rights.

If you require any assistance in these matters, please do not hesitate to contact us.
