What is the law of succession in Turkey?

(a) Turkish law of succession applies a parental system. If the deceased fails to make a will or otherwise fails to provide for the distribution of their estate at death, it will be distributed among their next of kin.#N#For this purpose, the blood relatives of a deceased person are divided into groups which are called parental. The first parental consists of the descendants of the deceased, the second of their parents and their descendants, the third of their grandparents and their descendants and the fourth is the Turkish State .#N#The following rules apply to the operation of this system:#N#First, as long as one member of a parental is alive at the time of death of the deceased, the other parental groups’ rights over the estate are automatically eliminated. Thus, if the deceased has one child alive, then the parents or grandparents of the deceased will receive nothing and the estate will remain in the parental group of the children.#N#Second, among the members of each parental those nearest in degree to such parental have priority over those in any following groups of parentals. For instance; if A is survived by one child B, B will be A’s sole successor. But if B had died before A then the surviving children of B, if any, will be the new priority heirs of A instead of the following parental members such as A's parents and A’s brothers and sisters.#N#Third, surviving successors in the same degree of kinship to the deceased in the same parental group, are awarded the estate in equal portions. Also, there is equality among male and female successors. Therefore if A dies intestate, leaving two sons and one daughter, each heir will receive one third of the estate equally. If one of A's children had predeceased A, leaving two children, their share will go to the children, entitling each one to one-sixth of the whole.#N#Children born outside marriage have the same rights of inheritance as children born in wedlock. Those children recognized by their father or whose paternity is established by a Court may inherit from their father equally. For instance, if a man leaves two children born within a marriage and one who is recognized, each will receive one third of the estate. Adopted children are treated in the same manner as the legitimate or biological children of the deceased. However adopting parents are not taken into consideration with regard to the adopted child’s estate if they predecease them. An adopted child is a legal successor of their biological parents as well.
