<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone dealt with a situation where a decedent received emergency medical services in Turkey shortly before their death? We represent a PR in an estate where the PR is receiving threatening emails from a representative of a hospital
in Turkey demanding payment. I was under the impression that emergency healthcare for foreigners in Turkey was free under Prime Minister’s Circular No. 2010/16.

<p class="MsoNormal">My inclination is to send the hospital Notice to Creditors as we would any other potential creditor, but I don’t know what I don’t know here. Anyone have any further knowledge on whether there’s a treaty or something else at play here?<o:p></o:p></p>
