On 3rd April, the British Residents Society hosted an event for its members at the Colony Hotel, focusing on the important topic of Wills and Succession and probate procedure in the TRNC.

Advocate Peyman Erginel, the legal advisor to the BRS, and members of Erginel Law Firm shared their expertise and provided the BRS members with a comprehensive overview of the history and formation of succession law in the TRNC, as well as practical guidance on estate planning.

In the presentation, a particular emphasis was placed on the practical aspects of estate planning, including the importance of having a properly drafted Will, the registration of deaths, the procedures involved in estate administration, and common issues faced by foreign nationals in Northern Cyprus.

The advocates and legal consultants of Erginel Law provided information and guidance to BRS members on how to better understand and protect their assets, and to ensure that their wishes are clearly reflected in their Wills in a legally enforceable manner.

In addition, informative leaflets were distributed to all attendees, offering a clear and practical guide to the procedures involved in preparing Wills and managing succession matters in the TRNC.

Those who could not attend the event and wish to have a copy of the distributed leaflets, can send our office a message on WhatsApp or email us and we will be pleased to share them with you.
