Joint Ownership

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.

Well. What was court decision about the real estate which you bought?

He can sell lt to some one else. But you can buy lt even he sell some one else. You have right to buy as first in all by law.

Hi,
Your ex-husband can not sell his share before offering it to you first. As a shareholder you have a preemptive right on his share. If he sells his share to a third person without offering it to you first you can send a notice to the buyer and your ex-husband indicating that you have that right. If they do not accept you can file an action against them and you can certainly win.

Regards.

In this question there is only one problem whether you are gonna know he sell or not. If he sold his share with your knowledge via notary warning; you have 3 months to take back his part from the owner with the price it shows on deed of real estate. However, if he didnt declare this buy and sell, you would have 2 years to take back this estate. After this period you could not use your preemptive right

Could you ask this question under divorce section? http://www.turkhukuksitesi.com/showthread.php?t=2668
There is 4 requirement for joint divorce.
1) at least one year marriage
2) Couples should apply court together. Or one of them should accept the case.
3) the agreement on the financial consequences of divorce and the status of children
4) Judge will listen both sides.
You can find some letter of applications online. However, I believe that to follow the case properly as a non-native, you better need to hire a lawyer.

Kind regards.
