e-Devlet Lets Legal Heirs Check Digital Payment Accounts
📲 New e-Devlet Feature Helps Legal Heirs Find Digital Accounts
Türkiye has introduced a new feature on the e-Devlet portal that allows legal heirs to check whether a deceased relative had accounts with electronic money institutions or payment service providers.
The new service is designed to simplify inheritance procedures by bringing together information about digital financial accounts in one place.
✅ Legal heirs can now search for electronic payment accounts belonging to deceased relatives directly through e-Devlet.
💳 What Information Can Be Accessed?
Until now, users could only check their own electronic payment accounts through the platform. With the latest update, individuals who are officially recognized as legal heirs can also view whether a deceased family member held accounts with:
- Electronic money institutions.
- Payment service providers.
- Digital wallet platforms.
All available information is presented through a single online service, eliminating the need to contact multiple financial institutions individually.
📋 Who Can Use the Service?
The feature is available only to legal heirs whose inheritance rights have been officially recognized under Turkish law.
ℹ️ Access is limited to authorized heirs and is intended to support official inheritance procedures.
📌 Why the New Feature Matters
As digital financial services become increasingly common, many people maintain electronic wallets and payment accounts alongside traditional bank accounts. These assets can easily be overlooked during inheritance procedures.
The new e-Devlet service helps families:
- Locate forgotten electronic payment accounts.
- Identify digital wallets held by the deceased.
- Simplify inheritance administration.
- Reduce the time needed to collect financial information.
📌 The service covers accounts held with electronic money institutions and payment providers, making the inheritance process more transparent and efficient.
The addition of this feature reflects Türkiye's continued expansion of digital public services, making legal and administrative procedures faster and more convenient for citizens and their families.
