What's the tie in to the US here? A "London man" who has inherted poprerty in Turkey has nothing to do with the US.
If the father was actually a US citizen, and given his estate values at more than $8 million, the executor of his estate would pay US estate taxes using the assets of the estate. Then whatever is left over gets distributed to the heirs. The US does not have an inheritance tax, so the heirs do not have to file or pay any inheritance tax. I don not know whether there are taxes due either in the UK or Turkey.

ebaines has it all about covered.
I would like to add that if there ARE taxes on the estate from either the U.K or Turkey, more than likely they can be claimed as a credit against the U.S. estate taxes.
