Editorial guides · Brazil · for owners abroad
Plain-language guides on selling, renting, inheriting and sorting out a Brazilian property while you live in another country — written by a licensed broker in Brasília, with a consultation form when your case needs a closer look.
Guides
The questions we hear most from owners who left Brazil — or who never lived there.
A step-by-step guide for Brazilians abroad and foreign owners: documents, power of attorney, pricing, the buyer's checks, signing the deed and receiving the money without travelling.
How to give someone in Brazil the power to sell, rent or sort out your property: consulate or local notary, apostille, sworn translation, what to include and how to limit the risks.
How the tax on the gain from selling a Brazilian property works for owners who live abroad: who must collect it, how the gain is measured, exemptions that may not apply and the tax in your country.
How owners who live abroad move the proceeds of a Brazilian property sale to their country: Brazilian account, exchange contract, documents the bank asks for, costs and common delays.
What heirs who live outside Brazil need to know about probate (inventário): court or notary, CPF for each heir, power of attorney, inheritance tax and what happens to the property meanwhile.
How to rent out and manage a Brazilian property at a distance: choosing a manager, the lease and guarantees, inspections, rent collection, maintenance and tax on rental income for non-residents.
