    Full title deed

They are called (Kat Mülkiyeti) in Turkish, and they are deeds that register ownership of real estate after its construction is completely completed, and independent sections are appointed in them, with approval to use each section independently, and each section is organized with its own full title deed, proving the ownership of the owner of the bond on the independent section in the said construction.
