Heirs with hidden shares are heirs whose inheritance shares are protected at certain rates against the savings made by the inheritor. In other words, the heirs who have the right of inheritance in such a way that the inheritor cannot interfere in any way and cannot dispose of it, are called “heirs with a reserved share”. Heirs with reserved shares listed as limited in the Civil Code are as follows:
Descendants of the legator (Children, adopted children, grandchildren and their children),
Parents of the inheritor,
Wife of the inheritor.
The siblings of the inheritor, who were previously regarded as the heirs with a reserved share, were removed from being the heirs with a reserved share with the amendment made. However, in deaths that occurred before the date of 10 May 2007, when this change was made, the hidden share of the siblings will be taken into account in the case of criticism filed at a later date.
