Important development for title deed owners in Muğla!
A bill that will cause a great resonance especially in Muğla, where land values are very high, and its touristic districts has been brought to the general assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Ownership disputes that have been passed down from the past to the present and where public areas overlap with private properties are being cleared with the new law. Here are all the details...
In Muğla, the ownership claims of immovables that have hosted public investments such as schools, hospitals, and roads for many years but whose title deeds remain with the citizens are completely terminated. The regulation aims to protect public institutions from astronomical compensation lawsuits.
The Right of Heirs to Request the Return of Real Estate Has Been Removed
According to the articles in the package submitted to the parliament, immovables that have been effectively used by the state before 1956 are put under legal protection. Even if no official expropriation steps were taken before this date, lands with a public facility on them will be considered legally expropriated. The legal heirs of the old landowners in Muğla will not be able to request the return of the title deeds of these immovables to themselves. The property rights claims of the former owners are abolished by law.
Compensation Payments Will Be Made at the Value of Past Dates
• A lump sum system will be applied for payments to the aggrieved landowners.
• Citizens will not be able to receive compensation based on the current high values of their lands.
• Payments will be made based on the assessed value at the date the land was transferred to the public.
• Lawsuits for unlawful seizure (expropriation without compensation) filed after 1963 and heard in Muğla courthouses will be rejected.
• Immovables will be registered with the relevant state institution.
• Court fees and attorney fees will be applied within a lump sum limit.
