Inheritance matters connected to Alanya
A Turkish certificate of inheritance (mirasçılık belgesi) is issued by a notary or by a civil court of peace (sulh hukuk mahkemesi) – in Alanya, the district’s notaries or the court of peace at the Alanya Courthouse (Alanya Adliyesi). Where an heir is a foreign national, the court, not a notary, issues it.
If the estate includes property in Alanya, it is then registered in the heirs’ names at the Alanya Land Registry Office; an inheritance tax return has to be filed separately.
