Foreign Domestications

Actions completed abroad such as court judgments, certificates, or official decrees are not automatically recognized in Greece. To ensure they are valid and enforceable, they must go through a process known as domestication.

At Hellenic Consulting Solutions (HCS), we provide comprehensive, turn-key solutions for all domestication needs, handling every step with precision, efficiency, and full coordination with Greek authorities.

Our Domestication Services:

 

Divorce Recognition:

  • For a foreign divorce to be legally valid in Greece, it must be formally recognized by a Greek court.

  • We manage the full process to ensure proper registration and compliance.

Wills & Trusts:

  • Inheriting property in Greece through a foreign will requires specific probate procedures.

  • We ensure proper validation and legal transfer of ownership.

Name Changes:

  • Legal name changes completed abroad are not automatically reflected in Greek records.

  • We assist in updating and aligning your official documentation in Greece.

International Adoptions:

  • Greece is a signatory to the Hague Adoption Convention, which facilitates recognition of adoptions between member countries.​
