Thank you Tiocfaidh.

In the English legal system, in my will I appoint someone to "execute" my will who is known as the "executor". He doesn't have any legal background and is often a member of the family. When I die he writes to banks to instruct them to transfer my money to the new owner and to land/registry offices to transfer ownership of property etc. In Turkey I have land, houses and cash in the bank. What steps would my executor need to take to start the process in Turkey?

I ask because I would like to give my executor some guidance before my death. It's not so easy afterwards! :-)
