THE GRECIAN CONNECTION

Chris Mangoutas
Greek Legal Advisor - Toronto Canada

---

Our Office in Toronto offers the following services to Greek Canadians who have property rights in Greece.

Services

• Acceptance of inheritance (apodohi klironomias)
• Distribution of property (Dianomi) if there is more than one heir
• Parental Donations (Goniki Parohi, i.e. donation from a parent to his/her child)
• Selling or buying property in Greece
• Donation of property
• Legal action against persons who violate your rights in Greece
• Issuing an AFM (similar to SIN), absolutely necessary for any legal matter in Greece.
• Land Registry Application
• Declaration E9 – Important for not losing your rights in Greece
• Other Property rights

Procedure

• Legal advice: we will tell you (in Greek or English) what your rights are, what documents you need (It sounds strange but you need many documents from Canada before proceeding to Greece!)
• Our office has representatives (lawyers) to almost all Nomoi (prefectures) in Greece, all able to take care of your rights. You don’t have to “torture” a relative there to fight the Greek bureaucracy for your rights – even if he is in good faith he will abandoned your case after some time! You don’t have to travel to Greece either to protect your rights and spend thousand of dollars; we can do it from here through our associates at a fraction of your cost. My office has more than 35 associates in various Nomoi (prefectures) of Greece. My office in Athens will take care for all cases in other regions. If you are planning to sell your property, the payment (cheque) will be in your name, my associate will not have any access to your money – except his fee, which will be paid to my office in Toronto. All of my associates are lawyers, appointed by a presidential decree and registered to the Official Lawyers' Association in their capital city.
• If you have your own lawyer in Greece you can appoint him/her. We can prepare all documents s/he needs from Canada but of course we assume no responsibility for the progress of your case in Greece.
• If you trust us with your case we will charge you a small percentage on the value by the Taxation Department – Antikeimeniki Axia (usually lower than the actual value). The above percentage includes my associate’s fee and also the commission of my office, but no taxes, penalties, duties, notary public's fee etc.
• If any extra cost is involved in your case due to its peculiarities you will be informed in advance.
• It’s my opinion based on thousands of cases that the faster, cheapest, best way to do business with Greece is through my office and my experienced associates in Greece. My statistics show that 60% of the persons appointed as representatives (plirexousioi) do nothing for several years. It’ also my experience that independent lawyers, chosen by my clients, spent years without doing anything significant for their case and also on the average charge more the Greeks abroad!

In Brief

• My Office can give you a sound legal advice on your rights in Greece for $75 (approx. 45 minutes of consultation).
• My Office will prepare all documents needed by your lawyer (usually: Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Divorce Certificate, Family Status Certificate, Power of Attorney, in collaboration with the Greek Consulate in Toronto)
• My Office can take care of your case in Greece (probably at a lower cost than if you chose your own lawyer!)
