A personal matter. A connection to Turkey.

A personal matter connected to Türkiye starts with a clear understanding of the circumstances. Documents concerning property, inheritance or family relationships are considered alongside any international connection. The scope and terms of engagement are agreed after the initial review.

Practice areas relevant to your matter

Contract law

A contract sets out what each party undertakes and the terms on which they work together. Unclear wording or differing expectations can later lead to disputes. This area includes preparing contracts, considering existing terms and addressing obligations that have not been fulfilled.

Property law

Property matters extend beyond buying and selling. Ownership, use, rental relationships and rights affecting a property may also matter. An assessment concerning property in Türkiye considers registry information, contracts and the background of any dispute together.

Inheritance law

After a death, identifying heirs and dealing with an estate may become necessary. Proof of heir status, division of the estate and inheritance disputes are distinct matters. Where Germany and Türkiye are involved, family relationships, the location of assets and available documents deserve particular attention.

Family law

Family law matters require a careful understanding of personal circumstances. Divorce, matters involving children and financial relationships between spouses call for distinct assessments. For people living abroad, foreign decisions and records in Türkiye may also be relevant.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments

A decision issued abroad may require a separate assessment of its effects in Türkiye. Recognition, enforceability and entry in a civil register are not the same process. The possible route depends on the subject, scope and applicable conditions of the decision.
