Real Estate Law / Squatters

According to Greek Civil Law, a person may claim extraordinary adverse possession rights on real estate property by claiming that he is in possession of the property, exercising uninterrupted ownership rights on it, for a period of more than 20 years.

When a lawful owner detects that a squatter has unlawfully taken over possession of his property, immediate legal action needs to be initiated against him so his adverse possession claim is time barred.
