In our 27 years of representing the Greek Americans, we often find that they open joint bank accounts in Greece with spouces, relatives, children. Very often this is done for convenience (so that when the account holder is in the U.S. someone in Greece can pay the bills, taxs, maintenance, etc...)

Due to the present financial instability of the country, as a result of the excessive public deficit and the progressive inability to access the bond markets on realistic terms, as well as the global financial crisis, the Greek government was forced to activate the support mechanism under the EU loan agreement along with the involvement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The specific conditions on which this support mechanism was activated are included in the Memorandum of Understanding on Specific Economic Policy Conditionality signed in May 2010 between Greece and the IMF.
