Foreign clients may arrive with a transaction, official notice, dispute or urgent incident rather than a named area of law. Start with the page closest to the problem, then compare the documents, authority and deadline. Av. Yanatma’s full scope includes property law, residence permits, Turkish citizenship, inheritance and wills, divorce and family law, criminal defence, and maritime and yacht law.

It also covers deportation and entry bans, holiday-rental licences, property disputes, tenancy and eviction, company and commercial law, work permits, employment law, accident and injury claims, medical malpractice, debt collection, and administrative law. The cards provide the complete list.

For cross-border instructions, read the foreign-client information before sending documents. The guides explain general Turkish-law terms, the areas directory gives local context, and about Av. Yanatma explains his background. When the facts are ready, use the contact page to send a focused first message.

Frequently asked questions

How are Turkish legal services grouped on this site?

The service pages are grouped by the legal problem a foreign client may need to solve: property, residence and citizenship, family and inheritance, criminal and administrative matters, maritime work, business and employment, accidents, medical claims, debt, tenancy and holiday-rental licensing. A single matter can touch more than one group, so the closest page is a starting point rather than a final classification.

When can property and residence advice overlap?

A property transaction and a residence-permit question are legally distinct, but the same client may need to consider both. Property ownership, the intended use of a home and the applicant’s immigration position must be assessed under the current rules; one does not automatically produce the other. Review the property and residence pages together, then check the current authority requirements for the individual facts.

What is the difference between a service page and a guide?

A service page describes the kinds of legal assistance Av. Yanatma may provide and the documents or procedural issues commonly involved. A guide gives general information about a Turkish-law topic for readers researching it. Neither page can decide a case without the relevant facts and documents; use the service page when considering representation and the guide when learning the basic framework.

What should I prepare before asking about a legal service?

Prepare a short chronology, the location, names of the relevant people, important dates and any deadline shown on an official notice. Add clear copies of available contracts, title-deed records, permits, court or police documents, correspondence and payment evidence. The required documents vary by matter, but an organised first account helps identify the correct Turkish procedure.
