Power of Attorney

"What are the requirements for a valid power of attorney in Turkey?"

Quick Answer

Powers of attorney must be notarized. Foreign POAs require apostille or legalization and certified Turkish translation. Scope must be clearly defined.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

The power of attorney should match the intended acts and any special litigation authority. Corporate signing authority, notarisation and permission for the attorney to act are separate matters.

What to Check in Practice

Prepare the scope before signature, obtain corporate authority evidence, and confirm authentication and Turkish translation requirements with the receiving office.
