Will you lose your Brazilian home?
Find out how to protect your assets
Brazil follows the matrimonial property regime chosen at marriage. It decides what is shared and what stays separate.
300
Foreigners face property division in Brazil each year
Default regime: Partial Community – assets bought during marriage split 50/50. Pre‑marital assets stay yours.
Dica
Check your marriage contract early. A prenup can switch the regime to Separate Property and protect your investments.
Can a Brazilian court apply foreign law?
Yes, if the first marital domicile was abroad, Brazil respects that regime.
If you lived in Brazil right after the wedding, Brazilian law usually governs, even for overseas assets.
Secure your fair share before it’s too late
