Greece, Sorted.

Cross-border estate coordination

Succession and Inheritance Command Centre

We organise the facts, documents, deadlines and professional workstreams without deciding whether an inheritance should be accepted, renounced or structured in a particular way. Those legal and tax decisions remain with the appointed advisers and heirs.

Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Can you calculate my inheritance-renunciation deadline?

No. We can assemble the dates and evidence, but a Greek lawyer must calculate and advise on any deadline because residence, knowledge, representation, court acts and other facts can affect the analysis.

Can all heirs use the same lawyer?

Only if the lawyer confirms there is no conflict and joint representation is appropriate. Separate advice may be necessary where heirs have different interests or intended decisions.

Will I need to travel to Greece?

Some matters can proceed through properly authenticated authority, but the lawyer and notary must confirm the acceptable form and whether any personal act is required.
