WILLS

For a legally binding Will, the Testator must be of sound mind and of age.

1. To have your Will signed in the Consulate you must provide :

-Proof of Greek citizenship, such as a Greek passport or a Greek identification card. Birth

certificates from a Municipality or a Community in Greece would also do, even if issued

a long time ago.

-3 witnesses not related to you, or to one another. The witnesses must be Greek nationals

and shall provide a Greek passport, or a Greek identification card.

2. To deposit with the Consulate your HAND-WRITTEN, SECRET WILL, you must bring it in a

sealed envelope to the Consulate and provide :

-Proof of Greek citizenship, such as a Greek passport or a Greek identification card. Birth

certificate from a Municipality or a Community in Greece would also do, even if issued a

long time ago.

-3 witnesses not related to you, or to one another. The witnesses must be Greek nationals

and shall provide a Greek passport, or a Greek identification card.

3. Wills of any kind must go through the Greek Courts after the Testator's death. This means

that before they can be executed, they need to be probated.

4. Proof of death of the Testator is needed before the Will is made public. If the person dies

in Greece, a death certificate from Greece is needed ("Lixiarhiki Praxi Thanatou").

If the person dies in Canada, this certificate is issued by the Consulate upon submission

of Canadian proof of death.
