Critical Legal Insight

Understanding Initial Registrations & Statutory Deadlines

Under Greek Cadastral Law (Law 2664/1998, as amended), once a municipality transitions to the operating Cadastre, the initial registrations create a strict legal presumption. If an incorrect registration or an "Unknown Owner" inscription is not challenged within the statutory deadline, the property becomes irrevocably the property of the Greek State.

Notice to Diaspora & Foreign Owners

Many inherited parcels across Central Greece and the islands have been mistakenly marked as unknown owners due to lack of timely declaration. Our firm handles judicial rectification and restores title ownership seamlessly via remote Power of Attorney.
