The European Succession Regulation, which harmonized private international and procedural law rules of Member States in the field of succession, has been examined by scholars in almost every detail. It has, however, not attracted the same degree of attention from a third state perspective. The aim of this book is to offer a comparative analysis of the Regulations's regime from a Turkish perspective. Turkey is indeed an important third state for cross-border succession cases for the EU, having a great number of nationals within the European Union and being one of the third countries which have bilateral treaties on succession with the Member States which are still applicable according to Article 75 of the Regulation. Biset Sena Güneş addresses the differences between the provisions of the Regulation, the Turkish PILA and the Turkish-German Treaty of 1929, the most practically relevant one of the treaties with third states, and indicates the interplay between the three legal texts.Survey of contents
