English-speaking lawyers in Antalya

Antalya on the Turkish Riviera has a large community of British, Scandinavian, Russian and Ukrainian residents, plus many holiday home owners. An English-speaking lawyer in Antalya is often the first call when buying property or settling permanently.

Typical cases include property purchases and title deed (tapu) checks, residence permits, citizenship by investment, rental disputes, divorce, inheritance and consumer complaints. Turkish lawyers (avukat) must be registered with a bar, here the Antalya Barosu. A noter certifies many documents, including powers of attorney.

Courts work in Turkish, so foreign documents need a sworn translation, often certified by a notary, and an apostille. Ask about fees in advance, as the Turkish Bar Union publishes a minimum fee tariff. English-speaking lawyers in Antalya also serve Alanya, Kemer and Side. Before handing over money for a flat, ask the lawyer to confirm the seller, any mortgage on the deed and the building's occupancy permit (iskan). Many buyers skip this and regret it.
