A title deed cancellation and registration action is a proprietary claim to correct the land registry when the record does not reflect the true legal position. The most common grounds are simulated transfers by the deceased, lack of legal capacity, abuse of a power of attorney, and forgery. The action is brought before the civil court of first instance where the property is located.

• The action is brought before the civil court where the property is located; this venue is exclusive.
• The usual grounds are simulated transfer, lack of capacity, abuse of authority and forgery.
• A simulated-transfer claim may be brought at any time after the deceased's death.
• An abatement action, by contrast, is subject to one-year and ten-year periods.
• Without an interim annotation on the register, a good-faith third party may be protected.
• Evidence — bank records, medical reports, comparable values — must be gathered before filing.

How to object, what follows, and the action for annulment of the objection under the Turkish Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law. In enforcement proceedings without a court judgment, a debtor served with a payment order who objects at the enforcement office within seven days automatically suspends the proceedings (Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law Art. 62). Objecting to the signature and objecting to the debt have different consequences; if the deadline is missed the proceedings become final and attachment follows.

• The objection period is seven days in ordinary proceedings and five for negotiable instruments.
• A timely objection automatically suspends the proceedings.
• An objection to the signature must be raised separately and expressly.
• The creditor must then apply to lift the objection within six months or annul it within one year.
• An unfounded objection can expose the debtor to denial compensation.
• If the deadline is missed, late objection, defective service and negative declaratory actions remain.

An uncontested divorce in Türkiye is possible when the marriage has lasted at least one year, both spouses file jointly or one accepts the other's claim, and the judge hears the parties in person and approves their protocol (Turkish Civil Code Art. 166/3). Where every issue is agreed, it usually concludes in a single hearing within a few weeks.

• An uncontested divorce requires the marriage to have lasted at least one year.
• Both spouses must attend the hearing in person; appointing a lawyer does not remove this.
• The protocol must cover custody, contact, maintenance, damages and the property regime in full.
• A claim left out of the protocol can be litigated separately after the divorce.
• Either party may withdraw from the agreement until the judgment becomes final.
• For clients abroad, recognition and enforcement of a foreign divorce judgment is an alternative route.
