Useful information
Frequently asked questions
These answers are general. Every matter is assessed on its facts and the documents available.
Do I need to travel to Greece for my legal matter?
Not in every case. Many steps can be completed under an appropriate power of attorney issued through a Greek consular authority or a notary, depending on the matter.
How can I issue a power of attorney from abroad for a matter in Greece?
Depending on the country and the matter, the power of attorney may be executed before a Greek consular authority or a local notary. Before signing, its exact wording, any Apostille or other authentication requirement and the need for an official translation should be checked.
Which documents are needed for an inheritance matter in Greece?
The exact list depends on the matter. For an initial review, useful documents may include the death certificate, any will, family-status certificates and information or title deeds relating to assets in Greece.
Can you handle matters outside Athens?
Yes. The office handles property and asset-related matters throughout Greece, subject to an assessment of the particular case.
Can the entire matter be handled in English or German?
Yes. Communication and case management can be conducted entirely in English or German.
Can you coordinate the notary, engineer or accountant?
Yes. The office can work with professionals already selected by the client or coordinate suitable professionals when required.
