The deadline for renouncing the inheritance is 4 months, if the deceased lived in Greece and 1 year, if his last residence was abroad or if the heir lived abroad, when he learned of the death of the heir and of the fact that the himself is called as an heir (whether with or without a will). Knowledge of these last incidents also marks the start of the waiver period. Of course, the law also provides for cases of suspension of the waiver period (e.g. due to force majeure).
