Quick Guide to “Muacceliyet” and “Müecceliyet”
These Ottoman-rooted legal terms describe whether a debt is payable immediately or deferred:
- Muacceliyet means the debt becomes due immediately (accelerated).
- Müecceliyet means the debt is still deferred until its maturity date.
Muacceliyet (Acceleration)
Use this concept when:
- The note has reached maturity,
- An acceleration clause triggers all remaining instalments at once,
- The debtor defaults and the creditor demands immediate payment of the entire balance.
Müecceliyet (Deferral)
Indicates that the payment date is still in the future. Instalment plans, deferred promissory notes, and grace periods fall into this category.
Contract / Note Usage
| Term | Meaning | Typical Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Muacceliyet | Debt payable now | Maturity reached, clause triggered, borrower in default |
| Müecceliyet | Debt payable later | Instalments continue, grace period active |
Tips
- Define the events that trigger acceleration in clear Turkish.
- Log deferred payments in your calendar to avoid missing maturity.
- Translate Ottoman expressions into modern Turkish inside the note or contract for clarity.
Takeaway
Muacceliyet corresponds to “acceleration,” while müecceliyet signals a deferred obligation. Senetyaz’s templates and reminders help you keep track of both concepts within your promissory notes and contracts.
