What problem does this solve?
Informal arrangements can create uncertainty about property regimes and the start of the union.
Legal planning replaces improvised decisions with solutions suited to the assets, the people involved and their objectives. The appropriate structure depends on the specific facts, not merely on its name.
How Moreno Advocacia can help
Partners wishing to clarify property rights in a Brazilian stable union. We formalize suitable property arrangements within legal limits.
We examine family circumstances, available documentation, applicable taxes and implementation feasibility. Where appropriate, we coordinate this solution with other estate-planning instruments.
What we examine before recommending
Pre-existing assets; acquisitions; evidence of the union and inheritance rights.
Cohabitation agreement and applicable publicity or registration acts.
An agreement cannot waive mandatory legal rights. Implementation must comply with current law and the specific tax and registration requirements of each transaction.
