Built for the matters caught between two countries
For years, people living abroad have tried to sort out their affairs in Turkey the same way: with annual leave, help from relatives and follow-up over the phone. AREF exists to bring all of that onto a single desk.
Often the hardest part of a task isn’t the task itself, but keeping it moving.

A certificate of inheritance or a land registry transaction is usually not complicated when it’s done on the spot with the right documents. The difficulty lies in the interdependent steps that have to happen at different authorities, in different cities, and in the right order. When one of those steps stalls, everything can wait for months.
AREF’s job is to follow those steps through from start to finish. We open your case, assign the right specialist, handle the correspondence with every authority and keep you informed regularly. We work with specialists such as lawyers, accountants and sworn translators, so you always know who is doing what on your case.
Our office is in Istanbul. Wherever you live outside Turkey, we can help: Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, the UK, Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, Australia and the Gulf states.
How we work
We speak plainly
If something can’t be done, or would cost you more than it should, we tell you in the first conversation.
We know our limits
Lawsuits and representation in court are a lawyer’s job. Our partner lawyers handle that work; we take care of the follow-up and communication.
We protect your information
Your personal data is shared only with the people your matter requires, and stored in line with KVKK, Turkey’s personal data protection law.
We’re always within reach
Whatever your time zone, we talk at a time that suits you, through the channel you prefer.
Let’s open your case together
Let’s start with a short conversation, and we’ll show you the fastest and most cost-effective way forward.
