Buy Property Without Travelling
Granting a Power of Attorney (POA) is the most practical and legally secure way for foreign buyers, non-residents, and expats to handle property purchases, inheritance matters, and legal procedures — without needing to be physically present in Greece.
At the Law Office of Theodosia Karalla, we specialise in drafting  and managing Powers of Attorney for foreign clients purchasing property in Rhodes and across the Dodecanese. We handle the entire process — whether you are based in the USA, the UK, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else in the world.
What Can Your Lawyer Do With a Power of Attorney?
With a properly executed POA, your lawyer in Greece can:
- Obtain your Greek Tax Number (AFM ) from the tax office
- Conduct full title searches at the Land Registry and Cadastre
- Sign the preliminary contract  and final notarial deed
- Pay transfer taxes and notary fees on your behalf
- Register the property transfer at the Land Registry
- Handle utility connections (electricity, water) and council tax registration
- Represent you in inheritance procedures and probate.
How the Process Works: Step by Step
Step 1 — Initial Consultation
We discuss your requirements and draft a POA tailored to your specific transaction. Consultations can be held by video call
Step 2 — Signing the POA
You sign the POA before a notary public in your country . The document is apostilled by the relevant state authority and sent to our office in Greece — by courier.
Step 3 — We Act on Your Behalf
Once we receive the certified POA, we manage the full transaction: legal due diligence, title checks, contract negotiations, notarial signing, tax payments, and Land Registry registration — without you needing to travel to Greece.
Step 4 — Completion and Handover
We send you the completed notarial deed, Land Registry confirmation, and all transaction documents. Your property is legally registered in your name in Greece.
