Özet:

 Upon the death of the legator, the inheritance is transferred to the heirs as a whole and the heirs have joint ownership over the inheritance in accordance with the law. In the inheritance partnership, the heirs are required to take joint decisions unanimously in the management, representation and disposition of the inheritance. However, the requirement for the heirs to act together may hinder the functioning of the inheritance partnership. For this reason, in order to overcome the difficulties caused by the principle of joint action, the Law authorizes each heir to request the appointment of a representative of the inheritance partnership. However, in urgent cases where the inheritance must be protected, since the coming together of the heirs or the appointment of a representative of the inheritance partnership may cause loss of rights, the Law exceptionally authorizes each heir to act alone on behalf of the partnership. Since the authority of the heirs to act alone is an exception to the principle of acting together, it is interpreted narrowly in practice. Since the strict application of the principle of joint action may render the inheritance partnership unable to act, different legal systems allow decisions to be taken by majority of votes for the ordinary administration of the estate, as in the case of shared ownership. Likewise, the scope of the urgent cases, which authorizes acting alone in cases where the inheritance needs to be protected, should not be interpreted narrowly enough to cause the loss of the right.

 Mirasbırakanın ölümüyle tereke bir bütün olarak mirasçılara intikal eder ve Kanun gereği mirasçılar, tereke üzerinde elbirliği mülkiyetine sahip olur. Miras ortaklığında terekenin yönetimi, temsili ve terekeyi konu alan tasarruf işlemlerinin yapılmasında mirasçıların oybirliğiyle karar alması gerekmektedir. Ancak mirasçıların birlikte hareket etme gerekliliği, miras ortaklığının işleyişini sekteye uğratabilmektedir. Bu sebeple, Kanunda birlikte hareket ilkesinin sebep olduğu zorlukların giderilebilmesi adına her bir mirasçıya, miras ortaklığı temsilcisi atanmasına yönelik talepte bulunma yetkisi tanınmıştır. Ancak terekenin korunması gereken ivedi hallerde, mirasçıların bir araya gelmeleri veya miras ortaklığı temsilcisi atanması hak kaybına sebep olabileceğinden Kanunda istisnai olarak her bir mirasçıya ortaklığı temsilen tek başına hareket etme yetkisi verilmiştir. Mirasçıların tek başına hareket etme yetkisi, birlikte hareket ilkesinin istisnası olduğundan uygulamada dar yorumlanmaktadır. Birlikte hareket ilkesinin katı bir şekilde uygulanması, miras ortaklığını hareket edemez bir duruma getirebildiğinden, farklı hukuk sistemlerinde terekenin olağan yönetimine ilişkin işlerde paylı mülkiyette olduğu gibi oyçokluğu ile karar alınmasına izin verilmektedir. Yine terekenin korunması gereken hallerde tek başına hareket etme yetkisi veren ivedi hallerin kapsamı, hakkın kaybına neden olacak seviyede dar yorumlanmamalıdır.
