A foreign document has no automatic effect in Brazil, and an act performed outside the country usually requires a step here to be valid. Two situations come up often: those who live in Bagre and married, divorced or inherited abroad, and those who left Bagre and need to resolve something that stayed in Brazil. CK Advogadas works on both.
Registry and notary fees follow the state inspectorate's table and are updated periodically. Confirm the current amounts before any notarial or registry act.
The work is defined according to the documents, the risks and the client's goal.

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 This blocks a new marriage, complicates probate and keeps the marital status outdated in documents.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 Bagre, regularization starts with reading the foreign judgment, which defines whether the case is for the registry office or the STJ.
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 Bagre owned by someone who died in another country is therefore not resolved by the foreign decision: it requires a Brazilian proceeding.
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.
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.
An open probate, a property to sell, a divorce to formalize, a record to correct and an account to regularize are pending matters that are often left behind when moving abroad. None of them requires physical presence. A power of attorney executed at a Brazilian consulate, or made abroad and apostilled, allows representation before registry offices, public bodies and court proceedings.
