About managing the death abroad of a loved one in Turkey

Who it is for

Families whose loved one has died in another country. A local lawyer can help with the legal and official steps. This includes bringing the body home, dealing with local officials, getting papers such as the death certificate, and handling what the person owned. Families may also need guidance on local inheritance rules.

How it works

It starts with a meeting to understand what happened. The lawyer then contacts the local offices to speed up the release of the body, either to send it home or for a local burial. If the death was sudden, the lawyer can deal with the police and the coroner (the official who looks into unexpected deaths). All steps follow local law.

The lawyer went above and beyond in every possible way. Several steps had to be completed in a specific order, and she replied to everything within minutes, every time. She explained it all in perfect detail and advised us on what would give the best chance of success. She was kind and friendly yet professional. She gave us the legal help we needed and also eased our stress, because it felt like having a friend in the country who wanted to help, and we are very satisfied with the outcome.
