In the United Kingdom, the intestacy rules have been uniform since 1925, a year before the acceptance of the Civil Code in 1926 in Turkey. In the UK, in order to provide fair provisions for dependent spouses or other relatives, the rules have been supplemented by the discretionary provisions of the Inheritance Act of 1975, The Provisions for Family and Dependants.
According to the Turkish Civil Code (TCC), heirs are counted as: descendants of the inheritor, parents of the inheritor and their children, and finally the grandparents of the inheritor and their children. Succession law in the UK has a gradual system as well, including not only the spouse but also the civil partner of the deceased. Continue reading Comparison of Turkish and English Inheritance Law

Beginning the divorce process may be another step in what has already been a frustrating and challenging journey for you and your relationship.
You may have children, shared assets, pensions and share a home with your spouse; all of which can be difficult to handle, particularly if you and your spouse can’t agree on arrangements or how assets are to be divided.
To save further heartache and difficulties in the future, it’s better to seek out tailored divorce advice early in the process.
An experienced divorce lawyer will outline how you can protect yourself from future legal disagreements while guiding you towards a fair settlement that will allow you to move on with your life.
To be eligible for divorce or to end a civil partnership, you need to have been married or in the civil partnership for 12 months or more.
If this is not the case, you can apply to annul the marriage or complete a (judicial) separation application.
If you separate but do not get divorced, you will remain legally tied to your spouse. This means both that you will still be husband and wife and you will remain financially tied. The financial claims that arise upon divorce also remain open and can be addressed at a later date.
It is possible to go through a legal process called judicial seperation whereby you remain married but legally separated, which can also deal with most but not all financial claims. In practice, this is rarely used.
Getting divorced legally brings your marriage to an end, so that you are no longer husband and wife.
It is essential to understand that the divorce in itself does not end the financial obligations that arise within marriage, and this requires a separate order that sits alongside the divorce.
There are three key stages in the divorce process. These are as follows:
However, the act of divorce itself does not put an end to the financial relationship between you and your partner.
To separate your finances, you must reach a financial settlement; a legally binding decision on how assets and wealth will be split now the marriage has ended.
The divorce process takes on average 10 weeks to 24 months (in Turkey)
