Claiming ownership of the deceased father property

Hi,

My father of Greek/Cypriot origin owned a business in Limassol, Cyprus for over 30 years.

The land which this business was built on was owned by the Turkish government (Merimner.. I think) which was allocated and the ownership of the building was in my Father's name.

Unfortunately my father passed away suddenly in April 2000, since this time I have applied and attended the offices in Limassol to claim and transfer over the ownership into my name which for some reason has been prevented from happening.

I am still unable to find out whom I need to speak with, or even where to start and would like to know what I can do to gain what was legally my right in transferring the land over into my name.

For over 17 years now I have been prevented from inheriting what I feel was rightfully mine.

Could you please advise if this is something that I could learn more about or if there is a case to be opened regarding this.

Many thanks,

Chris
