Procedure for Entitlement in Seizure (ÇEVİRİ)

PROCEDURE FOR CHARGES IN SEIZURE A. GENERAL INFORMATIONAlthough the debtor is the addressee of the enforcement proceedings, property believed to belong to the debtor but belonging to third parties can also be seized. The enforcement officer, taking into account the principle of order in seizure, may only seize property whose seizure is not prohibited by law. This principle serves not to collect the debt under any circumstances, but rather to establish a balance of interests between the creditor and the debtor. The enforcement officer has no other discretion and cannot assess whether the seized property actually belongs to the debtor.SEQUENCE IN SEIZURE: Only the debtor's property can be seized to the extent that it covers the principal and interest of the debt, as well as the enforcement expenses; no more can be seized (Article 85, I). However, when seizing sufficient property to cover the debtor's debt, it is necessary to begin with the property whose absence will least burden the debtor and is easiest to seize and sell.
