Title Deed (Tapu) in Turkey
Title Deed (Tapu) in Turkey
The title deed, known as “Tapu” in Turkey, is a crucial and legally binding document that serves as official proof of property ownership. Administered by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (Tapu ve Kadastro Genel Müdürlüğü – TKGM), this document meticulously records essential details about the property, including its location, owner, type, and size.
Authority and Offices:
The General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre oversees the title deed registry and archive. Throughout Turkey, there are designated TKGM offices in every city responsible for managing title deed affairs.
Ownership Rights:
All properties in Turkey are classified as freehold. Once ownership is established, individuals enjoy complete rights over their property, and these rights extend to the heirs, ensuring inheritance privileges for the family in the event of the owner’s demise.
