Our relationship is not recognised in Turkish Law and not likely to be any time this century. We thought we’d better prepare Turkish wills and have them notorised to make sure that we are mutual beneficiaries should one of us succumb to terminal wine flu. Wise Kirazli Karyn strongly advised us to drop the idea and drop it quick. What seems like a perfectly sensible proposition might lead to years of grief in the Turkish legal system. As we don’t have any immoveable assets (ie property) simple British wills are sufficient though they will need to be apostilled to be recognised by the Turkish authorities.
