Property sales, banking, probate and representation before Brazilian registries and courts, granted from where you live. We draft the wording, arrange the chain and follow its use in Brazil.
If your case fits one of these scenarios, our team runs the whole procedure in Brazil with no need for you to travel.
A power of attorney is refused for what it fails to say. Wording copied from a template, missing specific powers or an unfinished legalization chain and the registry rejects the document. The deal stalls, the deadline passes and everything starts again from scratch.

That is one of the routes, but it depends on scheduling and consular availability. There is also the route through an American notary followed by an apostille, which is usually faster.
Yes, when drawn up before an American authority. The apostille is what gives it validity in Brazil, together with the sworn translation.
It can, provided each power is expressly stated. That is exactly where generic wording fails.
Where no period is stated, it lasts until revoked. Some bodies, however, require an instrument issued recently, which we check before drafting.
Yes, at any time, through a revocation instrument. Where the power of attorney was registered, the revocation must be registered too.
