Can I please ask a question that I'm sure applies to many people owning a property here, I will use my own circumstances but I'm sure similarities will apply to others ;
We don't have a Turkish will, our bank accounts here are joint and upon the death of either one of us, the other has the opportunity to dictate our banked finances.
The property is in my name only, we have no plans to sell our property but leave it to our children, who we believe are very close and will be able to cope with any dictate imposed by the Turkish inheritance system. We also have some checks and balances contained within our UK will to take account of any diversions from our wishes on what we would like to see happen here.
So lets assume that I die first and as my wife's name is not the one on the Tapu, does that mean she can't live here anymore? I know our children wouldn't kick her out. Once she dies, wouldn't the property here, in effect still be in the hands of my children?
If so, it's what we would have written in our will?
