Are you losing a third of your Brazilian inheritance?
Double taxation could cost you dearly.
Brazil taxes your inheritance based on asset location—up to 8% ITCMD. Your home country taxes your worldwide estate. Two tax agencies, one inheritance.
Up to 8%
Brazil’s state inheritance tax (ITCMD) on assets like real estate.
Brazil’s forced heirship rule ties your hands: at least 50% must go to necessary heirs. This rigidity can block tax-saving estate plans you’d normally use abroad.

At least 50%
Brazil’s forced heirship law reserves half your estate automatically for necessary heirs.
