Which Documents Should Accompany a Precautionary Attachment Application?

Precautionary Attachment

Merely stating the claim amount is insufficient. Under Article 258 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law, evidence must support a view of the claim's existence and, where required, attachment grounds. Prima facie proof does not mean definitively resolving the whole dispute in advance, but neither means accepting an unsupported allegation.

Prepare the file in an order explaining the payment relationship rather than as a document pile. Follow the signed contract with order, delivery or service acceptance, then invoice, maturity, and bank movements. Deduct partial payments and separate currencies. Explain differences between written acknowledgment and later objections.

Foreign-language contracts require complete legible copies and annexes. Only the last page or a message screen may conceal applicable law and payment conditions. Turkish use, translation, and certification needs depend on the actual document. Where amounts or parties differ, explaining why before application is often more important.

Prepare a brief chronology and document-location list; preserve originals. Share complete readable copies securely and show clearly the connection between claim, maturity, payments, and any special attachment ground.
