Hi,

My questions is regarding joint ownership of Turkish real estate shared by two British citizens.

My ex husband and I purchased an apartment in 2004. We were divorced at the time but I still carried his surname. We verbally agreed at the time of purchase that this property should be bequeathed to our children, however, there are no wills. My ex husband does not use the property much now and has decided to sell his share. Given that I have been solely responsible for the up-keep and maintenance of the apartment, at considerable cost, (he has always objected to any expenditure.) I am totally opposed to this proposed sale.

Can he sell over my objections and without my knowledge. I should add athe Tapu senedi is in both our names as half share owners.
