A marital property regime designed for those with life, family and assets in two countries. We draft the agreement, arrange the registration in Brazil and align it with what already exists in the United States.
If your case fits one of these scenarios, our team runs the whole procedure in Brazil with no need for you to travel.
With no agreement, the statutory regime applies automatically — and it may not be the one the couple would have chosen. Assets in two countries under different rules produce contradictory outcomes on inheritance, on divorce and on the division itself, discovered exactly when it is too late to change.

The prenuptial agreement and the choice of property regime depend on where and how the marriage was celebrated. In certain cases of a marriage held abroad, it is possible to formalise the choice of property regime in Brazil after the ceremony and before the marriage is registered with the Brazilian authorities — that is what we check in your case review.
The agreement itself comes before the ceremony. After it the route is a different one, and it depends on where you married — that is what we check in your case review.
