By phone, WhatsApp or video call, we listen to your situation and clearly explain which procedure is required, the estimated timeline and the cost items. The consultation is non-binding.
We send you the wording of a power of attorney prepared specifically for your type of matter. You simply have it executed at the Turkish consulate in Germany or before a German notary (with an apostille) — we guide you step by step on the appointment and the content.
We make all applications to the courts, the land registry, the tax office, banks and insurers on your behalf. At every stage you receive written updates in Turkish or German.
A Turkish certificate of inheritance (veraset ilamı), a title deed, a court decision or the compensation collected: we deliver the result together with its documents and, where necessary, provide a roadmap for the next steps.
