CK Advogadas works on both.

The property regime does not automatically follow the law of the country of the ceremony. Art. 7, §4, of the Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law provides that the regime follows the law of the spouses' domicile and, if different, that of the first marital domicile. The consequence appears years later, in the division of assets or probate, when it is discussed what was common and what was separate property.
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 This blocks a new marriage, complicates probate and keeps the marital status outdated in documents.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 Mineiros do Tietê, regularization starts with reading the foreign judgment, which defines whether the case is for the registry office or the STJ.
Complementary Law 227/2026 filled the gap identified by the Supreme Federal Court in Theme 825 and defined which state is competent to levy ITCMD (inheritance and gift tax) in situations with an element abroad. In the inheritance of a deceased person domiciled abroad, the tax belongs to the state where the heir is domiciled; in a gift coming from abroad, to the state of the recipient. Collection on these terms still depends on state law and the tax anteriority rule.
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.
The child of a Brazilian born abroad is registered at the competent Brazilian consulate, and the consular certificate is then transcribed at a Civil Registry in Brazil. Transcription is what allows the record to have full domestic effect, including issuing documents, school enrollment and inheritance matters.
