What are my legal inheritance rights - my father died in Greece?

Greece will confiscate the proceeds to help fund their entitlement programs.

Greek Inheritance Law

In general, when there is no will, by the Greek Law the wife inherits 1/4 of the assets and the children share the rest 3/4 in equal parts. All children can inherit, even those born outside of marriage. I don't believe it matters that you live abroad (I'm not a lawyer though, I just lost my father recently and had to research this). If your father has any debts you will inherit them too. So be careful with this. You have a period of 4 months to refuse inheritance.

It depends on whether he became a Greek citizen or not. Either way the wife automatically gains control of the house as the remaining living spouse as well as anything that is in BOTH their names like bank account. You have no claim over anything that also has her name on. If you are under 18 then yu have a definite claim over the remaining (portion) but if over 18 you have to go with the Greek law.

If he did not get citizenship and was only a resident then his country of nationality law abide e.g. Australia which means only if under 18 you get a portion of anything not with his wife names (same as in Greek law) and over 18 only if named in the will.

The statements of "he died in Greece so that law applies" is not absolutely correct. Think about it. If you were on holiday in Egypt and your father died then only his sons would get anything from the will, not spouse or daughters. No sons then his brother (your uncle) would inherite.

His wife would have to file a probate case to have his assets change hands (or names). If he had a will, that goes. If he didn't, Greece's laws will apply and state who gets what and in what order.

Laws vary from nation to nation.

Greek law will apply since he died there.

I would assume his will would be recognized as far as possible under Greek law,

but you'd need local advice and possibly advocacy.

His will alone defines what you get if anything.

His legal wife gets it ALL unless he left a will...........
