Property Deed #45Scope and Content
This legal record, issued by the provincial administration of Ankara in 1329 (1913), verifies the property rights of Artin Kestanoğlu for a residential dwelling (1 Bâb Hâne) located in the Hacı Mansur neighborhood. The document (Record No. 163) was drafted as a formal replacement for original titles that were lost or destroyed (telef). Following an official inquiry involving local experts (erbâb-ı vukûf), the state confirmed that Artin Kestanoğlu held undisputed possession of shares (eshem) originally belonging to an individual named Agop. The document serves as a "Right of Use" certificate, ensuring the claimant's legal standing in the provincial land registry (defter-i mahsûs). It is authenticated by a 5-kurus Ottoman revenue stamp featuring the Tughra of Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, marking it as a valid fiscal instrument of the late Ottoman bureaucratic system.Category
