The legal order might surprise you.
Who gets your Brazilian property?
The legal order might surprise you.
Brazil uses 'Forced Heirship.' Unlike the US or UK, you cannot simply disinherit your family. The law decides for you.
50%
The minimum portion of your estate legally reserved for your 'Necessary Heirs'.
Class 1: Descendants and Spouses. Children and your partner inherit together in equal shares by default.
No children? The inheritance climbs to your parents and spouse. The law protects the lineage first.
Can a will override this order?
Only for 50% of your assets. The other half MUST follow the legal ladder.
Dica
Foreign heirs need a Brazilian Tax ID (CPF) to claim assets. Get yours before the process begins.
Protect your Brazilian assets and ensure your family is secure.
