Why Hukukcum.nl?

Focused on the Legal Matters in Turkey of Turkish People Living in the Netherlands

Rather than general legal information, Hukukcum.nl focuses on the practical legal problems that Turkish people living in the Netherlands face in Turkey.

That is why the process is not limited to filing a lawsuit; it also covers document preparation, the power of attorney, apostille, translation, official applications and regular updates.

Focus on Cases Linking the Netherlands and Turkey

Cases in Turkey for people living abroad often involve documents and procedures in both countries.

Making documents issued in the Netherlands usable in Turkey, consular powers of attorney, civil registry records, apostille and translation are assessed from the start. The aim is to avoid incomplete or incorrect steps at the beginning of the process.

Representation by a Lawyer Under Power of Attorney

Many procedures that do not require you to come to Turkey can be handled by a lawyer.

We plan from the start which cases need a general power of attorney and which need specific powers. In matters such as divorce, recognition and enforcement, inheritance, title deeds, sales, company matters or litigation, the scope of the power of attorney is essential for the process to run smoothly.

Clear and Regular Updates

Uncertainty in legal proceedings can be especially stressful for people living abroad.

At Hukukcum.nl, the stages of the case, the documents required and the next steps are shared in a clear way. Clients are regularly informed about the filing of the case, hearing dates, interim decisions, applications to public authorities and the judgment.

Broad Range of Practice Areas

Many Turkey-related legal needs, such as inheritance, title deeds, divorce, recognition and enforcement, debt collection, tenancy, company, employment, criminal, tax and intellectual property matters, are handled under one roof.

This approach is especially important when several legal issues overlap in the same case. For example, for an inherited property, the estate procedures, the transfer at the land registry and a dispute between heirs can be handled together.

Individual and Corporate Experience

In addition to individual cases, Hukukcum.nl offers advisory and litigation expertise in corporate matters such as company, contract, commercial, employment, trademark and patent, and economic crime cases.

This covers both the family, inheritance, title deed and debt matters of individuals and the contract, shareholder, commercial dispute and advisory needs of companies.

Communication in Several Languages

For people living in the Netherlands, being able to communicate in Turkish, English and Dutch makes documents and procedures easier to follow.

For clients living abroad, it is important not only that the legal process is handled in Turkey but also that it is explained clearly. Communication is therefore kept open, simple and easy to follow.

The Legal Needs in Turkey of Turkish People Living in the Netherlands

The legal needs in Turkey of Turkish people living in the Netherlands usually arise from family, inheritance, title deed, tenancy, debt, company and tax matters.

Examples include transferring a property in Turkey to the heirs, having a Dutch divorce recognised in Turkey, claims of irregular land registry transactions, evicting a tenant, collecting a debt from a debtor in Turkey, or disputes between company shareholders.

In such cases, legal knowledge alone is not enough; document preparation, monitoring deadlines, the practice of public authorities and representation by a lawyer must also be planned correctly.

Advice and Litigation Under Turkish Law

Hukukcum.nl provides advice and litigation services under Turkish law for legal matters that must be handled in Turkey.

A roadmap is drawn up according to the nature of the case in areas such as divorce, recognition and enforcement, inheritance, estate transfers, title deeds, enforcement, tenancy, company law, employment law, criminal law, trademarks and patents, intellectual property and tax law.

Where a lawsuit must be filed, the court proceedings are followed. In cases that call for an out-of-court solution, an application to a public authority, a formal notice, a settlement or document preparation, legal support is provided according to the type of process.

Our Approach to Remote Legal Support

Living in the Netherlands does not prevent you from following your legal matter in Turkey.

Many procedures can be handled remotely with an appropriate power of attorney granted to a lawyer in Turkey. Documents are reviewed, missing items are identified and the necessary application or court process is planned.

The aim of remote legal support is to ensure that clients know clearly which documents they need to prepare, which steps can be taken by a lawyer, and how the process will unfold, before they ever need to travel to Turkey.

Transparent Updates and Case Tracking

Uncertainty in legal proceedings can make the process harder, especially for people living abroad.

Hukukcum.nl therefore keeps clients clearly and regularly informed throughout the case. Clients can follow what stage the case is at, which documents are required, what the next step is and what the possible risks are.

Keeping communication channels open from start to finish gives clients living abroad a secure and controlled way to follow their case.
