In this episode of Greece Chats Podcast, I am joined by the Property Inheritance team at GetGreece, as we host a focused Q&A session on one of the most requested topics: property inheritance in Greece for Greeks living abroad. We answer real user-submitted questions covering how the process works, who qualifies, what documents are needed, how to handle taxes, timelines, power of attorney, and what to do when there are multiple heirs or unclear ownership.

You will learn how to begin an inheritance case from overseas, how to request records from Greek municipalities, what role lawyers and accountants play, how property gets transferred into your name, and what to expect in legal fees and government costs. We also address common challenges, such as missing deeds, family disagreements, expired deadlines, and navigating inheritance from both parents and grandparents.

Whether you already know you have property in Greece or suspect you might, this episode gives clear insights into how to claim, secure, and legally protect what may rightfully be yours.

Listen in to better understand how to bridge the distance and take control of your inheritance in Greece. And remember, GetGreece helps with these matters through our full end-to-end property inheritance service.
