What usually ties those who live in Davie to Brazil: a Broward County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
CK Advogadas is a Brazilian law firm, with lawyers registered with the OAB, and works on the Brazilian part of each case. Proceedings in the Broward County Circuit Court, American immigration and matters governed by Florida law require a lawyer licensed by The Florida Bar. When the case has both sides, the team prepares the Brazilian part and aligns the documents with the local lawyer.
Birth registration for a Brazilian's child in Davie is done by the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami. The consular certificate is then transcribed at a registry office in Brazil to have full effect, including school enrollment, CPF (Brazilian taxpayer number) and inheritance. The team guides the sequence and the documents for each step.
In Davie, divorce is handled by the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County, and ends with the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. To be valid in Brazil, the certified copy issued by the county Clerk receives an apostille from the Florida Department of State and a sworn translation. If the divorce was uncontested and only dissolved the marriage, it is annotated directly in the Brazilian Civil Registry, under art. 961, §5, of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates issued in Florida and documents signed by a notary public receive an apostille from the Florida Department of State. Then they receive a sworn translation in Brazil. The order matters: a translation done before the apostille is usually rejected.
Property located in Brazil is probated in Brazil, under art. 23, II, of the Code of Civil Procedure, even if the deceased lived in Davie. Heirs in Florida take part through a power of attorney executed at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami. If adult and capable heirs agree, probate can be done by deed at a notary office.
A marriage celebrated in Davie is recorded by the Broward County Clerk. To have effect in Brazil, it must be registered at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and transcribed at the 1st Civil Registry Office of the domicile in Brazil or of the Federal District. Without the transcription, the marriage does not appear on Brazilian certificates.
