Inheritance law brings family relations and the property regime together in a single file. The scope of the estate, the reserved share, reduction (tenkis), hotchpot, annulment of wills and disclaimer of inheritance are applied under the Civil Code and settled Court of Cassation practice.
In inheritance disputes attached to immovables, title, possession, usufruct (intifa) and the right of habitation (sükna) frequently intersect. The office aims at the full delivery of the right while preserving intra-family discretion, completing the process through partition (izale-i şüyu) and title-cancellation actions where required.
