Varsayılan Reserved portion?

Hallo there, I have read this thread with interest, but am still unclear about the "reserved portion" and whether or not making a will can change it.
Our position : Husband Turkish; wife dual UK/Turkish, there are no children.

I am I think correct in saying if my husband should die, I would share his assets 50/50 with his parents?

Where I am unclear is what happens if his parents died, THEN he died - does the law say that I must as his wife share the estate 50/50 with his brothers & sisters?

Or does it say that in that case his brothers and sisters get nothing, but I must share it 75/25 with his grandparents? And if they too are dead, then I keep the whole estate?

In any case, can any of this be changed by his writing a will?
Our house tapu is in joint names, so I presume that nody could touch my own half?
