Power of Attorney Advantage for Expats in Property Sales and Title Deed Transactions in Turkey
A strategic explanation of how Turkish expats can legally complete property sales, title deed transfers and inheritance procedures remotely via power of attorney.
Many expats mistakenly believe that they must physically come to Turkey to sell or purchase property. In reality, a notarized or consular power of attorney is legally sufficient to complete title deed transfer, property sale, or inheritance transactions — fully remotely.
The greatest advantage of using power of attorney is time and financial efficiency. Especially for expats in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, or the UK, traveling to Turkey solely for signing official paperwork is no longer necessary.
Example (fictional): A Turkish expat living in France sold his property in Antalya in just 48 hours — without flying to Turkey — through a properly drafted power of attorney.
However, precision is critical. The power of attorney must explicitly include “sale, transfer, title relinquishment” authorization — otherwise, the deed office may reject the process.
This is why legal control of the POA content is essential before issuing it abroad.
