Explanation of legal capacity as the power to create obligations and legal consequences through one's own actions, establishing its importance for civil law examinations.
The three fundamental conditions to possess legal capacity: having power of discernment (temyiz kudreti), not being legally restricted (kısıtlı), and being of age (reşit).
Reasons for court-ordered restrictions (mental health, substance abuse, bankruptcy, etc.), the role of guardians (vasi) and trustees (kayyım), and clarifying that 'minority' is not a restriction reason.
Standard age of majority (18), and special cases such as marriage (ordinary at 17, extraordinary at 16 with court permission) and court-granted emancipation (kazai rüşt at 15).
Categorizing individuals based on conditions: Full capacity (Tam ehliyetliler), Limited capacity (Sınırlı ehliyetliler), Total incapacity (Tam ehliyetsizler), and Limited incapacity (Sınırlı ehliyetsizler).
Analysis of the four categories, focusing on how the presence of a legal advisor vs. a representative changes one's status, and how to identify these in exam questions.
