When and how to cancel a power of attorney ?

 


In Turkey issuing a power of attorney is very common and used for a variety of situations such as purchasing or selling a property or car, to have a lawyer or accountant represent you or other circumstances where you need or want a 3rd party to represent you.

Issuing a power of attorney is easy and fast with many authorized notary offices in every city. 

But what about recalling and cancelling a power of attorney? How is that done and most importantly, when should it be done?


Lets take a look at this...

Generally speaking only a very small fractions of all issued power of attorneys in Turkey are being recalled since they do not pose a risk to the principal.

As an example you can provide your car dealer with a power of attorney, so that the car dealer can transfer the ownership of the car to your name and issue the license plates.

The risk that the car dealer will abuse this power of attorney by purchasing additional cars in your name is probably very low since that would make your the owner of cars for which you have not paid.


However, in some situations recalling a power of attornee is recommended.

- In case you do no longer cooperate with the attornee and the power of attorney poses a risk to you. 

This could be in case you have given a real estate agent the power of attorney to sell your property, but you do no longer work or cooperate with the estate agent.


- In case you feel that the attornee for what ever reason is no longer trustable and taking care of your interests.

- If you like everything to be clear and trouble free. Then cancel any kind of power of attorney after it becomes obsolite no matter the type or who the attornee is.


Recalling a power of attorney must be done at the same notary where it was issued. 


Recently a digital system has been implemented and an overview your newly issued power of attorneys can be found online.

But only for those with a Turkish ID number and access to the E-Devlet platform.


For older power of attorneys there is no digital tracking system, so you would need to show a copy of the power of attorney to the notary. 


Should you have any questions related to when and how to recall a power of attorney then do not hesitate to contact us.

Remember that it is better to be safe than sorry :-)

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Get on the bus...

At time it can be hard finding your way around the network of local busses in Alanya. Especially since each municipality has its own busses, and they all service not only their own municipality, but also other areas. So the city buses from Mahmutlar are servicing the Alanya area and the busses from Tosmur also goes to Kestel and so on... Generally speaking the busses operate from around 7 o'clock morning to around midnight. But what are there exact routes? That is not so easy to know :-) For the busses from Alanya municipality there is now a solution for this, since all the lines and routes can now be found  at this map - click to see... We havent been able to find same kind of maps from other municipalities. Lets hope that it will soon come.. In the meantime: Get and the bus and have a happy ride...
