What must be done in Brazil when life is in another country

A marriage celebrated abroad, a divorce decided in another country, an inheritance with property in Brazil and part of the family abroad, a power of attorney to represent someone who cannot travel. These situations join two legal systems and almost never require travel. The connection to Bom Jesus de Goiás is usually in the civil registry or the property, not in the current address of the person seeking help.

Clients connected to Bom Jesus de Goiás who live abroad follow the case from wherever they are. With a consular or apostilled power of attorney, CK Advogadas represents them before registry offices, public bodies and proceedings in Brazil, without requiring travel. The office is in Cabo Frio - RJ.

International Law in Bom Jesus de Goiás, GO

The field of international law covers legal situations connected to Brazil and another country. See the most requested international law services in Bom Jesus de Goiás, Goiás.

01

Married outside Brazil and living in Bom Jesus de Goiás: what is left to do

The pending issue is usually discovered at the wrong time: when buying property, opening probate or filing for divorce. Those whose civil records are tied to Bom Jesus de Goiás and who married abroad resolve it with consular registration, apostille, sworn translation and transcription. It is sequential paperwork, and the order of the steps is what causes the most delay when done without guidance.

02

Inheritance with assets in Brazil and family abroad

Assets located in Brazil are probated in Brazil. Art. 23, II, of the Code of Civil Procedure gives the Brazilian authority, to the exclusion of any other, jurisdiction over probate and division of assets located here, even if the deceased was a foreigner or domiciled abroad. Property in Bom Jesus de Goiás owned by someone who died in another country is therefore not resolved by the foreign decision: it requires a Brazilian proceeding.

03

Divorce abroad: annotation at the registry office or recognition by the STJ

Until this step is taken, the person remains married under Brazilian law. This blocks a new marriage, complicates probate and keeps the marital status outdated in documents. For those who divorced abroad and have the marriage registered in Bom Jesus de Goiás, regularization starts with reading the foreign judgment, which defines whether the case is for the registry office or the STJ.

04

Divorce in Brazil for those living abroad

Those who married in Brazil and live abroad can divorce here without coming back. If there is agreement, a public deed at a notary office is possible, with representation by an attorney-in-fact appointed by consular or apostilled instrument. With minor or incapacitated children, the deed requires custody, visitation and support to have already been defined in court. If there is a dispute or these issues are open, the route is judicial, with video hearings when applicable.

05

Hague apostille and sworn translation

The order of the steps matters: apostilling after translating, or translating from a copy without an apostille, usually results in rejection and rework. Birth, marriage and death certificates, judgments, powers of attorney and diplomas follow the same procedure, with specific requirements from each recipient.

Frequently asked questions about International Law

Below are the most frequent questions about international law. They are general guidance and do not replace a reading of your case. An international law attorney in Bom Jesus de Goiás can carry out this individual analysis.

Do I need a lawyer to annotate the divorce directly at the registry office?
In that specific situation, direct annotation does not depend on recognition and does not require a lawyer. Professional guidance is usually useful to confirm that the case really qualifies for direct annotation and to organize the apostille and translation, but the law does not require it for this act.
Does a foreign document need an apostille and a translation?
Yes, when issued in a country party to the Hague Convention: an apostille in the country of origin and a sworn translation into Portuguese. In a non-signatory country, consular legalization applies. The order of the steps matters, and mistakes in it usually lead to rework.
I live abroad. Do I need to travel to Brazil to resolve this?
In most cases, no. A power of attorney executed at a Brazilian consulate, or made abroad and apostilled, allows representation before registry offices, public bodies and proceedings. Acts requiring personal presence are few and are disclosed before engagement.
I divorced abroad. Do I need to go through the STJ?
It depends on the content of the judgment. A simple uncontested divorce, which only dissolves the marriage, is annotated directly at the Civil Registry, under art. 961, §5, of the Code of Civil Procedure. A contested divorce, or an uncontested one that deals with custody, support or division of assets, requires recognition by the STJ.
A relative died abroad and left property in Bom Jesus de Goiás. Where does probate take place?
In Brazil. Art. 23, II, of the Code of Civil Procedure gives the Brazilian authority, to the exclusion of any other, jurisdiction over probate and division of assets located in the country, even if the deceased was a foreigner or domiciled abroad. Heirs abroad take part through a power of attorney.
