I have read your posts regarding the Law concerning the death and Estate of the Turkish partner in a marriage, but I have a question concerning the Estate of the foreign partner.

I am a British female with a Company registered in her name (Turkish partner hold 5% of the company as required by Law). However the business partner is also my future husband and we are currently living together. As a result of the business I now own a large apartment block and house, these are registered in the company's name.

My Last Will and Testament drawn up in the UK ensures that my partner, together with named beneficaries in the UK, recieve allocated shares of the Estate.

So the question is: In the event of my death, will the Last Will and Testament have relevance in the Turkish legal system?

I do not want either my partner in Turkey or my family in the UK to encounter legal problems should the above - unlooked for! - event take place.

Kind regards
