HELP WITH LEGAL MATTERS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LEGAL MATTERS
Legal Topics
Real estate law covers all legal processes and issues related to the acquisition, transfer, leasing, sale, or recognition of property ownership. This includes matters such as property sale contracts, rentals and leases, property disputes, construction projects, mortgages, liens, claims, and dispute resolution related to real estate. Legal processes involve the drafting of necessary notarial documents, the transfer of ownership titles, and the resolution of property-related disputes.
The property purchase process in Greece involves several steps. First, the buyer must check the property's status (e.g., legal standing, existence of encumbrances, debts, or restrictions on ownership). Next, a sale agreement is signed between the buyer and the seller in front of a notary to complete the transfer of ownership. The transfer is finalized with the registration of the property in the Land Registry or the Mortgage Registry, along with the payment of taxes and fees.
The Land Registry is a public register that records ownership, rights, and obligations related to properties in Greece. Each property is registered and updated in the Land Registry, providing an official and legally binding confirmation of ownership and encumbrances on the property (such as mortgages, liens, or easements). When purchasing property, the transfer of the ownership title must be recorded in the Land Registry to be legally valid.
The seller is responsible for delivering the property in the agreed-upon condition, free of legal or physical issues that could affect it. The buyer, on the other hand, is obligated to pay the agreed amount and complete the property transfer according to the prescribed procedures and legal requirements. The responsibilities of both parties are recorded in the sale contract, and if these are not upheld, legal claims for compensation or cancellation of the transaction may In the event of a breach of the terms of a property lease agreement, whether by the lessor or the tenant, the other party may claim compensation or request the cancellation of the lease. Specifically, the lessor may seek the eviction of the tenant in case of non-payment of rent or violation of other terms of the contract, while the tenant may demand a refund or compensation if the property does not meet the agreed-upon conditions or if the lessor violates the lease terms arise.
In the event of a breach of the terms of a property lease agreement, whether by the landlord or the tenant, the other party may seek compensation or request the cancellation of the lease. Specifically, the landlord may request the eviction of the tenant in case of non-payment of rent or violation of other terms of the contract, while the tenant may demand a refund or compensation if the property does not meet the agreed-upon conditions or if the landlord breaches the lease terms.
For the sale of property in Greece, a contract must be in place, signed by both the buyer and the seller in the presence of a notary. The seller must have a clear title of ownership and ensure that the property is free from encumbrances or legal issues. Additionally, all necessary taxes and fees (such as the property transfer tax) must be paid, and the transaction must be registered in the Land Registry or Mortgage Registry to complete the transfer of ownership.
Foreigners' Law refers to the legal processes and regulations concerning foreign citizens who wish to reside, work, or settle permanently in Greece. It covers matters such as obtaining citizenship, granting residence permits, employment, and the integration of foreigners into the country. This legal process outlines the rights and obligations of foreign citizens during their stay in Greece and the European Union.
The application for a residence permit in Greece must be submitted to the relevant authorities of the Greek government, typically the Foreigners and Immigration Services.
The process involves providing various supporting documents, such as the passport, photographs, and information regarding the purpose of the stay (work, studies, family reunification, etc.).
The application is then assessed, and if approved, a residence permit is granted with specific duration and conditions.
Acquiring Greek citizenship can occur either through birth or residence in Greece or through the process of naturalization for foreign nationals. The naturalization process requires submitting an application, meeting specific criteria (such as residence in Greece for a certain period, sufficient knowledge of the Greek language, and integration into Greek society), and taking exams.
The application is then reviewed by the relevant authorities, and if the requirements are met, Greek citizenship is granted.
Foreign nationals residing in Greece have several obligations, including ensuring the legality of their stay, adhering to tax laws, and fulfilling certain social and labor rights. They are also required to renew their residence permits, pay taxes and social security contributions, and comply with the laws and regulations of the country. Those wishing to work or study must follow the relevant licensing and permit procedures.
Foreign nationals in Greece have rights that include protection from discrimination, access to public services, education, healthcare, and integration into society. These rights depend on their residency status (e.g., temporary or permanent residence) and the provisions of European and national laws applicable to foreigners. Additionally, foreigners who meet the requirements may obtain employment rights, and family members of foreign nationals have the right to family reunification.
Criminal Law is the branch of law that deals with the regulation of crimes and the penalties for them. It concerns all acts that are considered illegal and impose criminal punishment, such as imprisonment, fines, or other sanctions.
It affects our daily lives, as it protects the rights and safety of citizens, ensuring that those who violate societal rules will face consequences.
The application of Criminal Law is fundamental to social order and security, from protecting against crimes such as theft and violence to addressing more serious offenses.
If you are accused of a crime, the first step is to immediately seek a specialized lawyer who will guide you through all the legal steps you need to follow.
The lawyer will analyze the charges and the available evidence, inform you of your rights, and develop the best defense strategy.
Although you can defend yourself, the experience of an experienced lawyer is crucial, as they can help you understand the legal process and identify any weaknesses in the charges brought against you.
The process of a criminal trial typically follows a series of steps. It begins with the examination of the prosecution's witnesses, if any.
Next, the defendant, through their lawyer, may present their defense, submitting written evidence and witnesses. The testimonies and evidence are examined by the court, which will determine the innocence or guilt of the defendant. Finally, the defendant may give their statement, provided they are present at the hearing.
If the verdict is guilty, the judge imposes the sentence, which could be imprisonment, a fine, or other penalties. If an appeal is filed, the case is re-examined by a higher court.
The penalties for crimes such as theft or fraud depend on the severity of the offense and the damage caused to the victim. For example, theft may be punished with imprisonment, while fraud may lead to more severe penalties, such as long prison sentences and compensation to the victim.
The seriousness of the act and the value of the damage play a significant role in determining the penalty.
In the most serious cases, the maximum prison sentence or even life imprisonment may be imposed.
If you have been convicted and believe that the conviction is unfair or that there was a legal error during the trial, you have the right to file an appeal.
An appeal is a process in which specific legal errors or omissions made in the court are raised. If new evidence is presented or it can be proven that your rights were violated, the case will be reviewed by a higher court.
The appeal is a way to correct injustices that may have arisen from the original trial.
Parole allows the convicted person to be released from prison earlier than the completion of their sentence, provided they meet certain conditions, such as restrictions on their movement or the requirement to report regularly to authorities.
The conditions of parole are set by the relevant authority and may include supervision by special services or other restrictive conditions, depending on the crime committed and the behavior of the convicted individual.
Medical malpractice refers to the failure of a doctor or other healthcare professional to adhere to the standards of medical practice, resulting in harm to the patient.
Malpractice can be proven if the patient demonstrates that the doctor’s action or omission deviated from accepted medical practices, and that this breach caused harm to the patient.
Proving medical malpractice requires the opinion of expert doctors, legal analysis, and an examination of the conditions under which the treatment was provided.
In cases of medical malpractice, the doctor may face legal consequences, such as civil compensation for the harm caused to the patient, disciplinary actions by medical associations, and, in extreme but not uncommon cases, criminal prosecution.
If it is proven that the doctor's negligence had serious consequences on the patient's health, the compensation may cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and even lost income.
If you suspect that you have been a victim of medical malpractice, it is important to consult a specialized lawyer as soon as possible. The lawyer will help you understand your rights and gather the necessary documents and evidence (medical reports, expert opinions, etc.) to support your claim.
The first step is to request copies of your medical records and assess the possibility of appealing to the relevant authority or court for compensation for the harm caused.
To file a lawsuit for medical malpractice or tort, the first step is to consult with a lawyer who will guide you through the process of identifying the appropriate legal actions.
Depending on the case, it may be necessary to file a claim for compensation or a criminal complaint for liability.
The process involves collecting evidence, identifying those responsible, and presenting the case in court to reach a decision.
Civil Family Law is the branch of law that regulates relationships between family members, such as marriages, divorces, child custody, and alimony.
Its goal is to provide a legal framework for resolving disputes that arise within the family environment, ensuring the rights of all members, particularly children.
Family law also covers issues such as adoption, paternity, and the property rights of spouses.
In an amicable divorce, both spouses agree to dissolve their marriage and settle related obligations, such as the division of assets and child custody.
The process is simpler than a contentious divorce and is completed without the need for a court battle. The two spouses sign, either directly or through their attorneys, the agreement to dissolve their marriage in front of a notary, accompanied by an agreement on the division of assets, child custody, and alimony, if applicable.
In the case of separation or divorce, the court determines which parent will have custody of the children, based on the best interests of the child.
The judge considers various factors, such as the emotional bond between the child and each parent, the parent's ability to provide stability and care, and other important aspects that affect the child's well-being.
Typically, the court makes a decision regarding custody or joint custody, taking into account the child's needs and interests.
Yes, child support can be reviewed under certain circumstances, such as if there are significant changes in the financial situation of the parent paying the support or in the needs of the child.
For example, if the child's needs increase due to changes in their circumstances, or if the parent paying the support faces financial difficulties, a review of the child support amount can be requested through a legal process.
To acknowledge paternity, the father must submit a paternity acknowledgment request to the competent court. If paternity is disputed, the process involves filing a petition for acknowledgment or denial of paternity, and usually includes DNA tests to determine the biological relationship.
The court's decision is based on the results of these tests and the testimonies of the involved parties.
The adoption process in Greece requires the submission of an application by the prospective parents, who must meet certain criteria regarding their age, health, and financial situation.
The application is reviewed by the relevant social services, which conduct an evaluation of the family and the prospective parents.
If approved, the process is completed with the judicial approval of the adoption, which formalizes the legal relationship between the child and the new parents.
Inheritance Law regulates the inheritance and distribution of the assets of a deceased individual. It determines who is entitled to inherit and how the assets will be allocated. In Greece, inheritance law is based on the Civil Code and includes procedures such as the acceptance or rejection of an inheritance, wills, and the distribution of assets according to the deceased’s wishes or, in the case of intestacy (without a will), the law.
When there is no will, the inheritance is distributed according to the provisions of the Civil Code. The order of heirs is determined by the law and includes, first, the children and the spouse of the deceased. If there are no first-degree heirs, the inheritance passes to the parents, siblings, or other relatives, depending on the family situation. This process is known as "inheritance succession" and depends on the legal relationship between the heir and the deceased.
Acceptance or rejection of an inheritance is a legal process defined by the Civil Code. The heir has the option to accept or reject the inheritance within a specific period from the day they become aware of the inheritance. If they accept the inheritance, they assume both the assets and any debts of the deceased. If they reject the inheritance, they are not liable for any debts, but they also forfeit the right to claim the deceased's property.
If you believe a will is invalid or forged, you have the right to challenge it in court. A will can be contested on grounds such as the deceased's lack of capacity to draft the will, fraud, coercion, or threats during its creation. To do this, you must file a relevant legal remedy in court, which will examine the validity of the will based on the circumstances under which it was drafted.
Heirs are obligated to either accept or reject the inheritance, while also being responsible for managing and distributing the deceased's assets. Additionally, they are liable for settling any debts of the deceased if they have accepted the inheritance. If the debts exceed the value of the inheritance, heirs can reject the inheritance to avoid taking on the debts.
The execution of the will is carried out through the court or with the assistance of a lawyer who undertakes the implementation of the will's terms, provided the will is valid. Heirs or other beneficiaries of the assets must follow the instructions outlined in the will, under the guidance of the lawyer, while any objections or disputes may be resolved by the court.
