Real Estate, Land Registry and Co-ownership

Acquiring real estate in Türkiye, registering inherited property, dealing with co-ownership, selling an asset or resolving a title dispute may require a combined review of the land registry, encumbrances, municipal records, tax formalities and, where necessary, court or judicial sale proceedings.

The firm handles Turkish-law procedures from review of the legal status of the property through transfer or registration and, where a dispute exists, litigation and sale.

• Review of ownership, shares and encumbrances in the land registry
• Registration of inherited property and inheritance shares
• Legal preparation of sale, gift and other transfers
• Administration and conversion of co-ownership structures
• Dissolution of co-ownership proceedings and judicial sale
• Cancellation and registration claims and ownership disputes
• Occupation compensation, tenancy, eviction and use-related claims
• Expropriation and unlawful taking disputes
• Review of sale and lease agreements
• Coordination of municipal values, property tax and transaction documents

Where an asset has several owners, physical partition, sale, actual use, rental income, expenses and encumbrances must be considered together. A court order for sale does not complete the process: valuation, announcement, auction, award, distribution of proceeds and land registry formalities require separate follow-up.

• The legal status of a property is not limited to the registered owner. Annotations, encumbrances, attachments, interim measures, mortgages, leases, actual use and pending court or enforcement files may also require review.
