How the process works: tell us about your matter, appoint us remotely with one power of attorney, we carry the Turkish side, and the recovered funds are remitted to you.
The path your case takes
Four moves, from your inbox to your account.
Recovering money owed in Türkiye — debt, property, inheritance, wages, injury, insurance, or a foreign judgment to enforce. You stay where you are. We move on the ground.
One power of attorney — signed from where you are.
A notarised PoA, arranged through a Turkish consulate or with an apostille, authorises us to act. No flight, no return trip.
We run the Turkish side end to end.
Filings, correspondence, enforcement, court and arbitration where needed. You receive updates at each stage; the procedure stays with us.
Recovered funds are remitted to your account.
Once collected, proceeds are transferred to the account you nominate, with a clear accounting of what was recovered and how.
Distance is the one thing that doesn't stand between you and what you're owed.
Operating across Türkiye, in English.
Told the way it
actually happened.
Is this you?
“A Turkish company won't pay our invoices”
You delivered goods or services and the buyer has gone quiet. There may be a route to enforce and collect.
Commercial debt“We won abroad but can't collect in Türkiye”
You hold a foreign court judgment or arbitral award against a Turkish party. It can be recognised and enforced here.
Enforce a judgment“My off-plan flat was never delivered”
You paid toward a property that wasn't built, finished or transferred. There may be a route to a refund or the title.
Property disputes“My property deposit wasn't returned”
A purchase fell through and the deposit or payment stayed behind. We can pursue its return.
Property disputes“A relative left property or accounts in Türkiye”
You're a foreign heir and the estate is locked behind Turkish paperwork. We help you claim it.
Inheritance & estate“My Turkish employer didn't pay my severance”
Unpaid salary, severance or notice pay after a job in Türkiye. There is a labour-court route to recover it.
Unpaid wages“I was injured in an accident in Türkiye”
A road, hotel, excursion or medical accident left you hurt and out of pocket. There may be a claim worth bringing.
Accident & injury“My insurer refused or underpaid my claim”
A Turkish policy denied or short-paid your claim. A refusal is an opinion that can be challenged.
Insurance disputesNot sure which one fits? Just describe it in your own words.
The whole problem
A foreign system
stands between you
and what you are
owed. Closing that
distance is the job.
Debt, property, an estate, unpaid wages, an injury, an insurance claim — across a border, in a language and a procedure that are not yours. We stand on the Turkish side of that line and work it back to you.

on the ground in Türkiye.
Anonymized procedural trajectories showing how Turkish enforcement, commercial courts, and land registries work for foreign claimants.
Commercial Trade Debt
European industrial exporter recovers €185,000 via 48h bank asset freeze
A German automotive components supplier was owed for 3 unpaid container shipments. We secured an ex-parte Precautionary Attachment (İhtiyati Haciz under İİK 257) from the Istanbul Commercial Court, freezing debtor corporate accounts across 4 Turkish banks before notification. The debtor settled in full within 21 days.
Off-Plan Property Handover
UK buyer recovers £140,000 deposit on stalled Aegean residential project
A British buyer had paid 70% toward an off-plan villa with handover 18 months overdue. We filed contract rescission proceedings under Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and placed an interim injunction (İhtiyati Tedbir) on unsold units at the Land Registry, preventing developer asset transfers and securing full refund with interest.
Foreign Judgment Recognition
Direct tenfiz enforcement of $420,000 commercial judgment
A US commercial distributor held a final court judgment against a Turkish import entity with local real estate. Under MÖHUK Law No. 5718, we filed for tenfiz under fixed court fees (maktu harç) and secured enforcement orders without merits review, attaching Turkish assets through the central enforcement office.
Cross-Border Inheritance
Foreign heirs unlock Turkish real estate titles and bank deposits remotely
Three foreign siblings inherited Turkish property and bank accounts from a deceased parent. Acting under consular Power of Attorney, we obtained the Turkish Succession Certificate (Veraset İlamı) from the Civil Court of Peace, completed inheritance tax clearances, and transferred titles into heirs' names without travel.

The things you're
probably wondering.
QuestionsDo I have to come back to Türkiye?
No. Almost everything is handled remotely. You appoint us with a power of attorney signed in your own country, and we represent you on the ground here.
What if I don't speak Turkish?
That's exactly who we're for. We work in English from the first message to the final payment, and translate the Turkish documents for you.
How much does it cost to ask?
Nothing. The first assessment of your case is free, and we'll tell you plainly whether it's worth pursuing before you commit to anything.
It's been a while since the accident — is it too late?
Maybe not. Turkish claims have time limits, but they're often longer than people assume. The sooner you ask, the more options you tend to have.
Time limits
There's usually more time than you think — but not forever.
Turkish law sets time limits on most claims. They vary by claim type, and are frequently longer than the few weeks people fear — but they do run, and the evidence that proves a case (police and medical reports, records, witnesses) is easiest to secure early. The honest move is simply to ask now, even if you're unsure where you stand.
Checking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
