i own a house in marmaris but the tapu is in my fiancee's name, he is turkish. we want to get the tapu changed to my name. can we apply to any public notary in turkey to do this. for example can we get it done in istanbul as this would be much easier for both of us?

Transactions as regards the real Estates in Turkey must be performed before the Land Registry Offices(Tapu Dairesi).Therefore Marmaris Land Registy Office is the place where you should assign the title of the house.
The notary offices are solely authorised to arrange "contractual promise on estate purchase", yet this gives you not the title but only the right to file a suit meant for to force the seller to register the house in your name.
