You should contact the Greek Consulate in North Carolina to issue a Power of Attorney for your cousin. You would need the full particulars of your cousin like his ID card Number or Passport Number (a driving licence number is not valid in this case) and make sure that all papers be issued in both English and Greek, to make sure that you will encounter no problems with the different spelling of the names in the two different languages!!!
Try the following link to get further information: http://www.greekembassy.org/Embassy/cont… but I think that what you need is the following:
Consulate – Atlanta
Tower Place, Suite 1670 3340, Peachtree Rd., N.E.
Atlanta, GA 30326
Telephone: 404.261.3313
Fax: 404.262.2798
Web Address: http://www.greekembassy.org/atlanta/
E-mail: atlanta@greekembassy.org

Good luck!
The other poster gives a good answer; however, thanks to Greece being an EU member – the process is a lot easier.
A Greek attorney, licensed in Greece, has to draft the Power of Attorney (or POA). The POA must be notarized AND the notary must be notarized by the Secretary of State for NC (or whoever oversees notaries).http://www.secstate.state.nc.us/
Once the NC Secretary of State notarizes the notary’s signature, you mail the document to your cousin in Greece – saving yourself a trip to the consulate in Atlanta.
You can’t do this with an attorney licensed in the US – you need one who’s licensed either in Greece or both.
