Hello Ekaterina, to issue a power of attorney for the purchase of real estate in Turkey, you need to do it in person on the territory of Turkey.

Good afternoon, Ekaterina!
Of course, you can issue a power of attorney in Israel from a local notary. Next, you need to find a translation agency to translate the document into Turkish and then apostille the power of attorney. Carefully check your passport details and proxy to avoid mistakes.

Hello Ekaterina, Turkish consulates and embassies can perform notary functions abroad. When issuing a power of attorney, the presence of a lawyer is not required. You may need the passport details of a trusted person, your passport and in some cases your photo. After receiving a power of attorney in your country, you need to apostille this power of attorney in the authorized bodies. An important point is that some powers of attorney in Turkey are legally valid only if there is a photo in the document. Entrust the transaction to a reliable agency.
