Enough has already been extolled about the beaches of Brazil, its natural beauty and friendly natives. You may already have been primed into buying property in Brazil and all that remains is probably, just your signature on the dotted line. But, wait a minute! Don’t let the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil make you forgo the nitty-gritty in property dealings. We will show you some hard facts which will act as a guide for overseas buyer, which is you!
In Brazil, the land is registered via private notary publics which are under judicial control. The entire information of a property is public and can be accessed by all. Many Brazilians, therefore, do not use the services of a lawyer while dealing in land transactions. But, getting top-notch legal assistance will save you a lot of bother later on.
Though every second lawyer you meet may be more than willing to help you purchase property in Brazil, the credentials of the lawyer handling the transaction are of utmost importance. A reliable client lawyer who will look after your interests is most desirable and you should preferably go for a Brazilian lawyer who is registered with the OAB (Ordem Dos Advogados Do Brasil). You should also check whether the lawyer is registerd with the law society in your own country.
