The field of international law covers legal situations connected to Brazil and another country. See the most requested international law services in Espigão D'Oeste, Rondônia.
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 Espigão D'Oeste owned by someone who died in another country is therefore not resolved by the foreign decision: it requires a Brazilian proceeding.
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.
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.
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.
The alternative of divorcing in the country of residence has a consequence: the foreign judgment will later need to be annotated or recognized in Brazil to be valid here. Comparing both routes before starting avoids doing the same procedure twice, in two countries, with two costs.
