Power of Attorney
A power of attorney (vekâletname) is a document by which one person authorizes another to carry out legal transactions on their behalf. In Türkiye it is executed by a notary either in drawn-up form (düzenleme) or certified form (onaylama). It is used abroad for property, banking, inheritance and court matters.

Translation notes
- Personal names, the T.C. Kimlik No, the journal register number, dates and fee amounts are kept exactly as they are.
- In the drawn-up form (düzenleme) the notary prepares the power of attorney; in the certified form (onaylama) the notary only certifies the signature. This distinction is preserved in the translation.
- The notary seal, signatures and stamps are described in square brackets; any legible text inside the seal is carried over.
- Whether a power of attorney for use abroad needs an apostille or consular legalization depends on the country where it will be used. For information only.
