Turkish Will success story;
I am so pleased to report that as of today 23rd March 2012, after more than 4 long years, our very dear friend has succeeded in obtaining the appropriate certificate from the Peace Court allowing the joint Tapu to be put into her name, that being the last wishes of her husband.
She paid extra to the Court of Justice in trying to resolve the case, the Court of Justice did not understand why matters had escalated, and returned the hearing back to the Peace Court, After a lengthy hearing, they finally agreed to the Last Will and Testament wishes, & granted the appropriate certificate.
As you can imagine, our friend is over the moon and very emotional, as are we, to have this matter settled allowing her to move forward.
The lady dealing with the Will is Oksan Palabiyikoglu, she has told our friend that many Lawyers/Notaries are awaiting the out-come of this case in order to establish the procedures for future clients. Oksan is now fully conversant of exactly what is expected when an expat makes a Turkish Will, and what documents will be required to execute the Will, along with the cost.
Our friend has very kindly given her permission to enable me to bring this fantastic news into the Public Domain, in the hope that others in a similar position can take strength from it, She would like to thank Oksan for the hard work she has put into her case, the many hours of research, and chasing court judgements.
Oksan has agreed that her email can be used; oksanpalabiyik@gmail.com
