About managing the death abroad of a loved one in Greece

Who it is for

Families whose loved one has died in another country. A local lawyer can help with the legal and official steps. This includes bringing the body home, dealing with local officials, getting papers such as the death certificate, and handling what the person owned. Families may also need guidance on local inheritance rules.

How it works

It starts with a meeting to understand what happened. The lawyer then contacts the local offices to speed up the release of the body, either to send it home or for a local burial. If the death was sudden, the lawyer can deal with the police and the coroner (the official who looks into unexpected deaths). All steps follow local law.

What the service includes

  • Collecting the details to see which steps are needed
  • Handling the paperwork
  • Speaking with officials for you
  • Arranging for the body to be taken home, if needed
  • Keeping you informed at every step

    Managing the Death Abroad of a Loved one
  • I cannot thank the lawyer enough for her expertise and dedication in handling my case. She was thorough and persistent and kept up good communication, in perfect English, at all times. She made a very difficult and stressful situation much easier to manage from afar. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

  • The lawyer is very attentive to my needs and provided solid guidance and potential solutions. She is very responsive and accommodating of our time zones and my schedule, and she uses several channels of communication, which makes it very easy for me to connect with her. Her English is exceptional, and where I did not understand Greek legal terms, her explanations in English made a world of difference. The assistance was excellent.
