Attorney Rufina Taştan is a member of the Antalya Bar Association; our office is in Alanya. Turkish lawyers may represent clients before any court or authority in the country, so we also act for clients living in Manavgat and Side: we attend hearings at the Manavgat courthouse, handle transactions at the Manavgat Land Registry and advise online in Russian, Turkish and English.
Typical matters from Manavgat and Side
Manavgat is one of the largest resort districts in Antalya province. Many foreign owners live in Side, Kumköy and Çolaklı, and the local economy relies heavily on hotels and tourism. Common requests include:
- Buying an apartment or villa — checking the title deed, encumbrances, occupancy permit (iskan) and the developer before paying a deposit.
- Rentals — lease agreements, deposits, rent increases, eviction and landlord–tenant disputes.
- Residential complexes — service charges (aidat), owners' meeting decisions and common areas.
- Employment disputes in tourism — seasonal work, unpaid wages, dismissal and severance.
- Family and inheritance — divorce, recognition of foreign divorce judgments, inheritance of Turkish property.
- Traffic accidents and compensation — insurance claims and litigation.
How we work with clients in Manavgat
The first consultation can take place via WhatsApp, phone or video call — you do not need to travel to Alanya. We accept documents electronically; where needed, a notarised power of attorney is issued and we carry out the steps in Manavgat ourselves. Alanya is about 60 km from Manavgat along the coast, so in-person meetings and hearings are easy to arrange.
