Land registry cancellation and registration cases are one of the most important disputes regarding immovable property. If foreigners acquire immovable property in Turkey, such lawsuits may directly affect the security of ownership. Therefore, it is important for foreign buyers to know what these lawsuits mean.
Title deed cancellation and registration lawsuits are filed with the claim that the title deed is unlawful. These lawsuits may be based on collusion, forgery, abuse of power of attorney, incapacity, inheritance dispute or other legal reasons. If the immovable property subject to the lawsuit belongs to a foreigner, the person may face the risk of losing his/her ownership.
The most important consequence of such lawsuits for foreigners is the loss of security of immovable property. Even if the immovable property is seemingly purchased properly, it may later be subject to litigation. This affects investment and citizenship plans.
Litigation may also make disposals on the immovable property more difficult. Restrictions such as precautionary measures may come to the agenda. For this reason, the foreign buyer should follow the legal status of the immovable after the purchase.
Title deed cancellation case may also affect citizenship applications. If the immovable property is purchased for citizenship purposes and subsequently becomes the subject of a lawsuit, the application process may be adversely affected. For this reason, the litigation history of the immovable should be investigated before the purchase.
As a result, title deed cancellation and registration lawsuits pose a serious risk for foreigners. Legal follow-up before and after the purchase is essential.
