Inheritance Law / Acceptance of Inheritance

According to Greek Inheritance Law, the heirs of the deceased are the ones stated in the deceased’s Will and if there is no Will, then the succession is settled by law and specifically with the intestacy rules, which is based on the kinship with the deceased.

If the estate consists of real estate property, then in order for the heir to acquire ownership of it, he/she will need to accept the deceased’s inheritance through the Acceptance of Inheritance Deed executed before a Notary Public and then register it before the competent Land Registry/Land Registry Bureau.
