Expropriation Law

Expropriation Law is a branch of law that regulates the purchase or seizure of real property owned privately by the state or public legal entities in accordance with specific procedures and principles, in order to serve the public interest. This branch of law aims to both protect individuals' property rights and consider the public benefit.

What is Expropriation?

Expropriation is regulated under Article 46 of the Constitution and the Expropriation Law No. 2942. According to this:

  • In cases required by the public interest,
  • Real property belonging to individuals or legal entities,
  • Can be purchased by the state or public legal entities,
  • On the condition that the payment is made in full in advance.

Expropriation Process

Expropriation procedures are carried out within specific procedures:

Public Interest Decision: In order for expropriation to be carried out, a public interest decision must first be made by the relevant authority.

Property Identification and Valuation: The value of the properties to be expropriated is determined by experts according to market conditions.

Agreement and Payment: With the property owner's approval, the expropriation payment is made, and the process is completed.

Court Process: In case of a dispute, the matter can be taken to court.

Protect Your Rights

The right to property is constitutionally guaranteed during the expropriation process. However, in certain cases, it is important to seek legal support from an expert lawyer to avoid any loss of rights. In this process, professional support can be provided in:

  • Checking whether the expropriation payment is fair,
  • Monitoring whether the expropriation procedures are carried out in compliance with the law,
  • Initiating necessary objection and litigation processes.
