The Inheritance Law is a part of the Greek Civil Law and is regulated in its fifth book in articles 1710 to 2035, it deals with the consequences arising from the death of a person. Specifically, it regulates the procedures of the total or partial succession of a person's property after his death, as well as the persons who have claims from it.
The members of the deceased's family can have rights over his inheritance, by a) intestate succession if the person had not drawn up a will or b) as legal share holders if the deceased had chosen a heir by excluding from his inheritance some of his/her family members. In this case, only a) the spouse, b) the descendants and c) the parents of the heir participate in the inheritance according to art. 1825 AK.
Within 4 months of a person's death, the heir has to take several necessary actions and decisions.
