When you buy a property in Turkey, right after you receive the title deed. It means if there is no special condition of the delivery after you complete the full of your payment you deserve the receive tapu.

If you have no chance to come to Turkey, you may prepare a Power of Attorney (POA) to sell or buy on behalf of you at Turkish Embassy Notaries. It is in Turkish. So that the person which you appointed in Turkey can sell or buy for you.
If there is no Turkish Embassy nearby you, you may prepare the POA at NOTARY office as well. In order to complete the documents correctly, please ask the sample of POA form your real estate company. The POA will be in your language. Please do not forget to get an APOSTILLE stamp on your POA, if not It will not be valid in Turkey.
While you give a PAO to someone, if you are going to buy more than one property in different places, you may give general POA. But If you buy only one property, It is better to give POA for a specific property. This can save you for the future conflicts.
