Istanbul Court Announces Estate Liquidation for Tufan İlhan

The Istanbul Anatolian 13th Civil Court of Peace has initiated proceedings for the liquidation of the estate of the late Tufan İlhan, a resident of Bayburt province. This announcement, published on April 16, 2026, outlines the legal process for settling the deceased's financial affairs.

According to the court's decision, the estate will be liquidated under bankruptcy provisions, a procedure governed by Article 166 of Turkey's Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law (İİK). This approach is typically employed when the deceased's liabilities may exceed their assets, requiring a structured and equitable distribution among creditors.

The court has appointed lawyer Arif Aslan as the liquidator. Creditors of Tufan İlhan are formally notified to submit their claims, along with proof of debt, to the court within one month from the date of this announcement. They must also pay the required application fee and any associated notification costs.

This legal notice serves as a crucial step in the administration of the estate, ensuring that all legitimate claims are addressed in accordance with Turkish law. The process aims for a transparent and orderly resolution of the deceased's financial obligations, providing a framework for creditors to assert their rights.
