International Law in Canindé de São Francisco, SE

The field of international law covers legal situations connected to Brazil and another country. See the most requested international law services in Canindé de São Francisco, Sergipe.

01

Inheritance with assets in Brazil and family abroad

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.

02

How to validate in Brazil a divorce decided in another country

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.

03

Marriage celebrated abroad: registration and effects in Brazil

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

Child born abroad: registration and Brazilian nationality

When consular registration was not done at the time, there is an alternative route for recognition, with its own evidentiary requirements. The assessment takes into account the country of birth, the available documents and the parents' situation at the time of birth.

05

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 Canindé de São Francisco, service is provided in the client's time zone, with a power of attorney and digital follow-up.

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 Canindé de São Francisco can carry out this individual analysis.

A relative died abroad and left property in Canindé de São Francisco. 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.
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 married abroad. Is the marriage valid in Brazil?
It is valid, but it only has full effect here after consular registration and transcription of the certificate at the Brazilian Civil Registry. Without the transcription, the marriage does not appear on Brazilian certificates and cannot be annotated or dissolved in the country.
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 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.

Send the foreign judgment or certificate

Reading the document defines whether the case is for annotation at the registry office, recognition by the STJ or its own procedure in Brazil. Service in any time zone.
