FAQ

Can a foreigner own property in Brazil?

Yes, foreigners can own property in Brazil with some restrictions — particularly for rural land, border areas, and agricultural properties. Urban real estate is generally open to foreign ownership. We handle the entire process: due diligence on the property title, verifying no outstanding debts or liens, drafting the purchase agreement, and registering the deed. We also assist with obtaining a Brazilian CPF (tax ID), which is required for any property transaction.

How do I get a visa or residency in Brazil?

Brazil offers several visa categories: work visas, investor visas, retirement visas, digital nomad visas, and family reunion visas. The process involves submitting documents to the Brazilian consulate in your home country first, then registering with the Federal Police upon arrival. We handle the entire process — from identifying the right visa category for your situation to preparing and submitting all documentation.

Do I need to be in Brazil to hire you?

No. Most legal procedures can be completed remotely — we use digital signatures, secure document exchange platforms, and video conferencing for consultations. For court cases, we can represent you through a power of attorney signed electronically or at a Brazilian consulate in your country. We serve clients from the United States, Europe, Asia, and worldwide.

What are your fees and how do payments work?

Our fees depend on the type and complexity of your case. We offer transparent pricing with detailed fee estimates before starting any work. For most services, we charge fixed fees so you know the total cost upfront. Payments can be made via bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, or cryptocurrency. Initial consultation is free — contact us to discuss your case and get a personalized quote.

Do you handle cases in Porto Feliz and other cities in São Paulo?

Yes. Our office is based in Fortaleza, Ceará, but Brazilian law allows lawyers to practice in any state — including São Paulo. We regularly assist clients in Porto Feliz with real estate transactions, company formation, immigration matters, and court proceedings. For most cases, everything is handled digitally through government platforms and e-signature systems. For in-person court hearings in Porto Feliz or elsewhere in São Paulo, we either appear directly or partner with trusted local correspondent attorneys when required.

How can a foreigner hire a lawyer for a legal matter in Porto Feliz without being physically present in Brazil?

You can hire us entirely online. We conduct initial consultations by video call, and once engaged, we prepare digital powers of attorney (procuração) to act on your behalf. All documents are handled electronically, and we coordinate with notaries and registries in Porto Feliz remotely.

Can a foreigner buy property or inherit assets located in Porto Feliz?

Yes, foreigners can purchase property and inherit assets in Porto Feliz. We perform due diligence, check for encumbrances, and guide you through the registration process at the local notary office. Inheritance matters are handled via Brazilian probate (inventário), which we can manage for you remotely.

Do I need to travel to Porto Feliz or to the state capital São Paulo to complete legal procedures?

No. All steps can be completed remotely. We use digital signatures and coordinate with local notaries and registries in Porto Feliz. In rare cases where a physical appearance is required (e.g., for certain court hearings), we can arrange representation through a local associate, but typically you never need to travel.
