1 - Votre système juridique prévoit-il un mandat de protection future pour les personnes qui souhaitent nommer un proche comme tuteur dans le cas où ils perdraient leur capacité juridique suite à un accident ou une maladie ?
Dans le système juridique turc, le mandat de protection permanent n'existe pas. Une procuration est valable jusqu'au moment de la perte de capacité juridique.
Si non :
- Pourquoi votre système juridique ne prévoit-il pas de mandat de protection permanent (dans une politique publique, par exemple) ?
Car la personne qui a perdu sa capacité juridique ne peut plus révoquer une procuration si nécessaire. La personne qui perd sa capacité juridique est appelée « personne limitée » dans le Droit turc. Les personnes limitées ne peuvent faire usage du droit de révocation d'une procuration et la loi ne reconnait pas la limitation des actions. - Le rôle que remplit le mandat de protection permanent est-il rempli par d'autres moyens légaux ?
En principe, l'autorisation prend fin en cas de décès du mandant. Le système juridique turc a des équivalents, par exemple pour une procuration concernant des sujets spécifiques (par exemple une propriété donnée, etc…), après la mort du mandant, à condition que la volonté de ce dernier à propos du sort la propriété soit mentionnée dans la procuration (ce qui est rare).
2 - Votre système juridique prévoit-il la possibilité de déterminer à l'avance l'acceptation ou le refus d'un traitement médical dans le cas où une personne, suite à un accident ou une maladie, est dans l'incapacité de s'exprimer à ce sujet ?
Si non :
- Pourquoi votre système juridique ne prévoit-il pas les décisions anticipées (dans une politique publique, par exemple) ?
Il n'y a pas de base juridique pour les décisions anticipées, mais si le législateur décide de préparer une base juridique, les décisions anticipées pourront peut-être exister. - Le rôle que remplit la décision anticipée est-il rempli, même partiellement, par d'autres moyens légaux ?
Pour les vivants, non. La décision anticipée n'existe que pour la nomination d'un exécuteur testamentaire qui administrera le patrimoine après la mort.
3 . Votre système juridique prévoit-il le droit de demander à ce qu'une personne de confiance soit nommée comme tuteur en cas d'incapacité future ?
Si non :
- Pourquoi votre système juridique ne prévoit-il pas de procuration notariée (dans une politique publique, par exemple) ?
Il n'existe pas de base juridique pour la procuration notariée, mais si le législateur décide de préparer une base juridique, les procurations notariées pourront peut-être exister à l’avenir.
4 - Quelle autorité a juridiction internationale, territoriale et matérielle pour désigner les tuteurs légaux ?
Si la nomination concerne un ressortissant turc, la compétence revient à la cour du lieu de résidence de la personne en Turquie.
Si la décision concerne une transaction sur un bien immobilier de la « personne limitée », la cour compétente est celle du lieu où se trouve la propriété.
és par les magistrats.
5 - Est-il fréquent de désigner plusieurs tuteurs pour s'occuper de différents aspects (droits de placement sous tutelle, gestion des actifs, etc) ?
6 - Á quelles restrictions formelles et matérielles les tuteurs sont-ils soumis ? Doivent-ils être homologués ? Doivent-ils avoir l'autorisation d'un tribunal ou d'une autre autorité pour accomplir des actes juridiques ?
7 - Quel droit positif est applicable sous les règles de conflit de lois en vigueur, pour :
- le mandat de protection permanent ?

Dans le système juridique turc, les décisions anticipées n'existent pas. - les requêtes liées au tuteur/gardien et/ou aux circonstances de la tutelle/garde ?

- Sous quelle condition les documents étrangers suivants sont-ils reconnus dans votre État ?

Comme il en a déjà été fait mention précédemment, dans le système juridique turc, le mandat de protection permanent n'existe pas. Si un ressortissant d'un pays reconnaissant le mandant de protection permanent est concerné, la loi de son pays sera appliquée et le mandat de protection permanent sera exécuté en Turquie. - les décisions anticipées de refus d'un traitement ?
