German-speaking lawyers in Turkey

Ties between Turkey and Germany run deep. Millions of people with Turkish roots live in Germany, and German retirees and holidaymakers fill the Turkish Riviera. German-speaking lawyers in Turkey handle the cases that sit between both countries.

Typical matters include inheriting property in Turkey, recognition of a German divorce (tanıma), buying apartments in Antalya or Alanya, residence permits, pension questions for returnees and disputes after medical treatment. Every Turkish avukat must be registered with a provincial bar, which can confirm their status. Turkish inheritance rules apply to land in Turkey even when the deceased lived in Germany. Courts work in Turkish, so German documents need an apostille and a notarised translation, and an interpreter joins hearings where needed.

Fees are agreed in writing, with a statutory minimum tariff as a floor. German-speaking lawyers in Turkey are found in Istanbul, Antalya, Alanya, Izmir and Ankara. Many German-speaking lawyers in Turkey studied or worked in Germany. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
