Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying, renting, and protecting assets in Brazil from abroad.
Can a foreigner buy property in Brazil while still abroad? +
Yes. Through a specific Power of Attorney, we can represent you in all stages, from the initial offer to the signing of the public deed and registry entry.
Do I need a CPF to buy or rent property? +
Yes. A CPF (Brazilian Tax ID) is mandatory for any real estate transaction, bank transfer, or lease in Brazil. We assist non-residents in obtaining their CPF 100% remotely.
Why should I register my trademark in Brazil if I already have it abroad? +
Trademarks are strictly territorial. Foreign registration does not grant protection in Brazil. Registering with INPI secures exclusive commercial rights and prevents local infringement or squatting.
Do I need to be in Brazil to sign the documents? +
No. Everything can be executed via public power of attorney granted at a Brazilian consulate or apostilled locally, as well as digital signatures through e-Notariado.
How do I know if a property is safe to buy? +
Through comprehensive Real Estate Due Diligence. We audit the property's title chain, check for unpaid taxes, labor lawsuits, mortgages, or seller liabilities that could jeopardize your investment.
Is it difficult for a foreign company (CNPJ) to buy land? +
It requires specialized legal structuring and Central Bank registration. Urban properties are straightforward, while rural lands have specific statutory limits for foreign entities which we navigate for you.
How much does this cost? +
Our legal fees are structured based on the complexity and scope of the transaction. We provide full fee transparency prior to starting any work.
