Verified facts relevant to this topic
Purpose of this guide
Official Source Revalidation — Corporate seller authority applies an operational verification workflow to Corporate seller authority. The specific objective is to re-prove the point from the official source or primary document at the decision moment instead of relying on an old or copied record. A fact should not be treated as operationally reliable merely because it exists; it must be tied to the correct property, party and date and supported by evidence that another reviewer can audit later.
When to use this review
- Before signing a contract or amendment that changes rights or obligations.
- Before sending money or changing a beneficiary or account.
- When a new version of a previously relied-on document arrives.
- When there is a record change or an approaching signature/payment.
- When the database and a primary document or official source disagree.
- Before final closing when the information can change over time.
Evidence file
- Retain the source or document actually used for the decision.
- Record retrieval/receipt date and reviewer identity.
- Link the version to the correct property, unit and counterparty.
- Preserve prior versions when a document changes.
- Record any difference between the database and primary evidence.
- Do not fill missing fields with undocumented estimates.
Consistency tests
- Does every item refer to the same property and unit?
- Are party identities and legal capacities consistent?
- Is the date suitable for the moment on which the decision relies?
- Are amounts, rights and restrictions consistent across records?
- Does a material fact appear in only one source without explanation?
- Has anything changed since the last review that could alter the decision?

Practical questions answered from primary sources
How can change of signatory before closing change the true cost of corporate seller authority?
When a company sells property, verify the legal entity, the person representing it and the scope of that person’s authority. TKGM materials rely on corporate authority evidence and Trade Registry/MERSIS data in legal-entity title transactions; a company stamp or employee card is not a substitute. Do not treat a months-old saved document as final evidence. Reopen the relevant MERSIS/TKGM or Ministry of Justice source, record the access date and determine whether the information changed. For dynamic authority and registry data, source freshness is part of accuracy. For this exact point—“change of signatory before closing” within corporate seller authority—use the cited source to establish the governing rule for the same property and current transaction.

Official Source Revalidation — Corporate seller authority
Official revalidation of corporate-seller authority should begin with the legal entity, not with the employee negotiating the sale. Match the company name, registration details and legal identity to current records, then determine who may represent the company for a property disposition and whether authority is sole, joint, time-limited or dependent on a corporate resolution. TKGM guidance on representation of legal persons makes the authority document and representation chain central evidence. A business card or signature on an old contract is not enough. If directors, signatories or the signing method change, revalidate before signature or payment.
