Hi all,

My father in Turkey passed away and I inherited his property. I live outside of Turkey. The tapu was transferred into my name last year and all inheritance tax/fees were finalised at that time.

This year I’ve been waiting to receive the emlak vergisi for the property, but nothing has appeared on e-Devlet. I then created an account on the correct belediye portal and declared the property there a few months ago, but I still haven’t received any invoice or payment notice.

I contacted the belediye and they keep saying the tapu name change still hasn’t been fully finalised, but they haven’t been able to tell me clearly whether the process simply needs more time to update in their system, or if there is another issue. I have the paperwork of the deed transfer which was already completed.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone know why this process can take so long or is this a common experience?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

This large grasshopper has been hanging out on the outside of our front door for about 10–11 days now.

I’m in Australia, it’s autumn here, and we’ve had almost constant rain for the past week. At first I thought it might be at the end of its life because it was barely moving, but it’s actually still alive and has become more active again in the last couple of days—moving up and down the door and shifting positions.

I’ve added some fresh leaves and a few water droplets nearby, and I’ve noticed some of the leaves getting eaten. It also gets a bit of warmth in the mornings when the sun hits the door before the rain starts again.

I haven’t moved it because I figured it chose that spot for a reason (shelter maybe?), but I’m curious—does this seem like it’s just resting/waiting out the weather and might leave once it’s got enough energy again?
