The topic of inheritance law in Turkey brings with it many questions. Here you get a little insight today, which should give you help and ease on this extremely difficult subject.

This certificate of inheritance must then, according to Turkish law, be certified by a German diplomatic mission in order to be valid in Turkey. The following taxes are payable on inheritance. There is also a gift tax in Turkey:
