By service

Greek Property & Golden Visa Legal Risk Check

An independent, fixed-fee legal review of a specific property before you commit — title, planning, encumbrances, threshold category and Power of Attorney.

Greek Citizenship by Descent

For the diaspora: whether you may already be entitled to Greek citizenship through a Greek parent, grandparent or earlier ancestor — and how we establish the documentary chain. Separate from investment.

Greek Citizenship by Descent for US Citizens

For Greek-Americans specifically: Ellis Island name changes, state-by-state US records and apostille, the consulate process, and dual citizenship — the American side of establishing the chain.

Greek Citizenship by Descent for Australian Citizens

For Greek-Australians: the postwar migration generation, a parent or grandparent born in Greece, Australian state records and the DFAT apostille, and military-service questions — usually a closer, more direct chain.

Greek Citizenship by Descent for South African Citizens

For the Greek community of South Africa: older and missing registry records, the DIRCO apostille, name variations across generations, and municipal registration in Greece — establishing and proving the ancestral chain.

Greek Inheritance for Foreign Heirs

If you have inherited property or assets in Greece from abroad: accepting or renouncing within the deadline, the deed of acceptance, Greek inheritance tax, and handling the estate remotely. Separate from investment.

Power of Attorney in Greece

How a notarised Power of Attorney lets us act for you from abroad — for buying, inheritance or a Golden Visa — how it is signed and apostilled, and honestly what it can and cannot do.

Greek Property Due Diligence

Transaction-grade investigation for complex or higher-value matters — development land, commercial property, portfolios, and company or share acquisitions. Deeper than the Legal Risk Check.

By nationality

Each nation's investors arrive with different questions. These pages are written to those specific concerns.

Does this property qualify?

Two checks that run in your own browser: which Golden Visa threshold applies to a specific property, including the 120 m² minimum most listings omit, and how your country’s documents must be legalised for Greece. Nothing is sent to us.

Greek Golden Visa & Property for Vietnamese Citizens
