Legal: templates and forms

A private agreement between two partners living together in Cyprus without marriage or a civil partnership: the shared home and who has a right to it, how expenses are split, what belongs to each and what is shared, and how they settle up if they separate. The law does not regulate informal cohabitation, so the agreement records what would otherwise have to be proved. It is not a civil partnership: that is entered into under Law 184(I)/2015, by any couple, and has the effects of marriage except adoption.

The power of attorney by which you appoint someone you trust to act for you in Cyprus in a range of matters: at government departments, Citizen Service Centres and local authorities, the Tax Department and Social Insurance, banks and utilities. It sets the powers, what is left out — such as selling property — whether the attorney may appoint a substitute, and how long it lasts, and is signed before a certifying officer or at a Citizen Service Centre (KEP), which certifies the signature. For use abroad it also needs an apostille. Cyprus has no lasting power of attorney that survives the principal's loss of capacity.

gov.gr issues authorisations free; this document gives you the wording, to paste there, or to sign as a PDF and have the signature certified free on docs.gov.gr or at a citizen service centre (ΚΕΠ). It is DocMuse's own text, not the Greek state's form. It covers one precisely described act in Greece — collecting a document, filing an application, signing a contract, receiving a payment — and sets the limits of the authority, whether the agent may appoint a substitute or deal with themselves, and until when it is valid. Under the Greek Civil Code an authority takes the form of the act (art. 217): selling real estate, or any act made by notarial deed, needs a notarial power of attorney.

The request by which anyone asks a Greek public service, municipality or public-law body to inspect or receive copies of specific documents. Since 1 January 2025, art. 5 of the Greek Code of Administrative Procedure, as replaced by art. 59 of Law 5143/2024, gives this right to every person with no interest to show, and the service answers within 20 days. The request names documents rather than asking questions, because a manifestly vague request needs no answer.
