Dad informally ‘accepted’ a plot of land in the Peloponnese decades ago, but nothing was ever registered. Am I about to inherit a massive bureaucratic headache?

If it’s not registered properly with the Hellenic Cadastre (Κτηματολόγιο) and AADE, you don’t legally own it yet—which means, yes, it can turn into a headache. Greek bureaucracy does not reward informal handshakes. But don’t walk away from the asset. Our Inherited Estate & Wealth Structuring associates specialise in tracing unregistered land, clearing disputed titles, and officially registering the property in your name, ensuring it is legally yours to sell or develop. Send us whatever old documents you have, and we’ll map out the exact clearance process.

Key Takeaway: Unregistered property can be salvaged and formalised through our targeted title clearance and registration process.
