What I can't understand is why this is illegal. After all, people give POA to builders and agents when they buy off plan, so that business can be conducted when they are not in Turkey. What is the difference between that and giving POA to your husband/wife/partner, so they can sell your property if you are too ill to travel? Obviously, there is the trust issue, as has been pointed out, but if the trust is there, then that should be OK.
