Enforcement Lawyer Antalya

An enforcement lawyer is a legal professional who operates within the framework of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law to protect creditors' rights and ensure the collection of debts through enforcement proceedings.

What is an Enforcement Lawyer?

Enforcement lawyers specialize in the relationship between debtors and creditors, particularly in debt collection matters. Since Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law involves complex procedures and technical details, working with an experienced lawyer in this field ensures both faster proceedings and complete protection of legal rights.

Enforcement lawyers use various enforcement methods to collect their clients' receivables in the shortest time and most effective manner. They can also defend debtors' rights against unjust enforcement proceedings.

Types of Enforcement Proceedings

1. General Seizure Method

This is the most commonly used enforcement method. The creditor applies to the Enforcement Office based on the available document and requests a payment order to be sent to the debtor. If the debtor does not object to the payment order or if the objection is removed, the creditor can collect the debt by seizing the debtor's assets.

2. Special Enforcement for Negotiable Instruments

This is a special enforcement method for receivables based on negotiable instruments such as checks, promissory notes, and bills of exchange. In this method, the debtor has more limited defense rights and the process proceeds faster.

3. Enforcement Without Court Order

This is an enforcement initiated based on documents such as notarized promissory notes with non-objection clause or undertakings. The debtor cannot object to these documents and can only present evidence that the debt has been paid or is time-barred.

4. Enforcement with Court Order

This is enforcement initiated with documents such as court decisions, arbitration awards, or settlement agreements. In this enforcement, the debtor has no right to object in the enforcement file and can only complain about the execution of the court decision.

How Does the Enforcement Process Work?

1. Preliminary Review and Consultation

The type and amount of your receivable and available documents are examined to determine the most appropriate enforcement method.

2. Initiating Enforcement

Application is made to the enforcement office and a payment order is sent to the debtor. The debtor can object or pay the debt within 7 days from the notification date.

3. Removal of Objection

If the debtor objects, a lawsuit for removal of objection is filed. If the court determines that the objection is unjustified, the objection is removed.

4. Seizure Procedures

If there is no objection or the objection is removed, the debtor's assets are seized. Movables, immovables, bank accounts, salaries, rental income, etc. may be subject to seizure.

5. Liquidation and Collection

Seized assets are sold and the receivable is collected. Sale procedures are carried out by the Enforcement Office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents are required to initiate enforcement?

Documents showing the existence and amount of the receivable (contract, invoice, check, promissory note, court decision, etc.) and the debtor's identity information are sufficient.

How long does enforcement take?

The enforcement period varies depending on the debtor's attitude and asset identification. Non-objected enforcements can be concluded within 2-3 months, while objected and complex files may take 6-12 months.

How are enforcement lawyer fees determined?

Legal fees are determined based on the amount of receivable, complexity of the work, and type of enforcement. Detailed fee information is provided during application.

What happens if the debtor has no assets?

If the debtor has no seizable assets, the Enforcement Office issues an "insolvency certificate." The creditor can pursue assets the debtor acquires later with this certificate.

What are the objection periods for enforcement?

The objection period for a payment order is 7 days from the notification date. The complaint period for enforcement office procedures is 7 days from the notification or date of learning about the procedure.
