The five tracks
Skipped generation
The property is still in the name of someone who died before your parent. Each succession needs its own acceptance and tax return, in order.

Unknown-owner correction
The cadastre shows no owner but the family holds title. An application with the State's consent, or a petition to the cadastral judge, puts the right in your name. The window is fixed and closing.
Property lawyer plus a surveyor
Possession mediation (article 61)
No usable title, but the family has used the property for 20 years. The new mandatory mediation with a registered cadastral mediator recognises ownership by extraordinary adverse possession.

Dispute with a registered holder
Someone else is registered. Only a lawsuit within the correction window changes that. Expect court.

Why I built this
I am a software engineer in Athens, and Kliros started with my own family's property on Karpathos. There was no dispute and nobody was suing anybody. The problem was narrower and more stupid than that: I could not find anyone who would tell me which of six or seven possible procedures our situation actually called for, what it would cost, or which deadlines had already gone past. The professionals I asked each gave a confident answer, and the answers were about different procedures.
So I went looking for how common that is, and found that 3.45 million property rights in the Hellenic Cadastre are recorded as belonging to an unknown owner. That reframed it. What my family had was not a private piece of bad luck. It was a procedural failure at national scale, and a large share of the families sitting inside it emigrated a generation or two ago and have no way back in: no Greek tax number, no power of attorney, no idea that a correction window was closing on a fixed date nobody had told them about.

Case file
€49Everything above, assembled into a document you hand to a lawyer, notary or mediator. Bilingual, print-ready, and structured the way a Greek professional expects to receive a case.
Expert review
€189The case file, read in advance by a licensed Greek lawyer or a registered cadastral mediator for the property's own district, then forty minutes with them, then their view in writing.
We do not take a commission on your case. Professionals in our network pay a flat monthly listing fee for the districts they cover, and nothing per client. That is a deliberate choice: fee-splitting with an intermediary is the thing the Greek Code of Conduct for lawyers is most concerned about, and it also means nobody has a reason to steer you towards the expensive route.
