International Law in Francisco Badaró, MG

The field of international law covers legal situations connected to Brazil and another country. See the most requested international law services in Francisco Badaró, Minas Gerais.

01

Divorce abroad and the marriage record in Francisco Badaró

A simple uncontested divorce, which only dissolves the marriage, goes directly to the Civil Registry where the marriage was transcribed or registered, by annotation governed by the National Code of Rules of the National Inspectorate of Justice. A contested divorce, and a qualified uncontested one that deals with custody, support or division of assets, still depends on recognition by the STJ. The judgment may be recognized in parts.

02

Probate when the deceased lived abroad and left property in Francisco Badaró

This creates what is called a plurality of succession forums: probate in the country of domicile covers the assets there, and the Brazilian one covers the assets here, each with its own applicable law and tax. Heirs living abroad take part in the Brazilian proceeding through a consular or apostilled power of attorney, with no need to come to the country.

03

Transcription of a foreign marriage certificate

A marriage celebrated abroad is valid, but it only has full effect in Brazil after it is registered here. The usual sequence is registration at the Brazilian consulate of the country of celebration and then transcription of the certificate at the competent Civil Registry in Brazil. Without that transcription, the marriage does not appear on Brazilian certificates and cannot be annotated or dissolved in the country.

04

Representation in Brazil by power of attorney for those living abroad

The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimates around 5.3 million Brazilians living outside the country, and the Federal Revenue Service received about 144 thousand declarations of definitive departure in the latest survey. Many of these people keep assets, records and proceedings in Brazil. For those who left Francisco Badaró, service is provided in the client's time zone, with a power of attorney and digital follow-up.

05

Parentage with a father or mother living abroad

Name, support and inheritance rights derive from parentage, and none of these effects is lost because of distance. The production of evidence, including genetic testing, is organized considering where each party lives and the cost of travel.

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 Francisco Badaró can carry out this individual analysis.

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 Francisco Badaró. 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.
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.
How long does recognition of a foreign judgment take?
The time depends on how the request is prepared, any objection by the other party and the processing at the STJ. Incomplete documents, improper service in the original proceeding or lack of finality are the most common causes of delay and rejection.
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.
