Question

My father was born in Greece and now lives in the US. He inherited property in Greece when his father died 40 years ago. The town claimed his property under "imminent domain." It has been tied up in the courts for the past 40 years - either free the property and release it to my father or pay him for it. The final hearing was due to take place 2 months ago, but the Greek judicial system is on strike with no end in sight. Is there any other course my father can take? He has waited 40 years for his day in court and his health is failing. Thanks.



Answer

You will need to ask this of a lawyer familiar with Greek law. Laws in the various countries can be so different that any answer you get from a lawyer here, unless they have practiced in Greece, is no better than an answer you would get from a random person on the street.
