How to Handle Inheritance in Brazil While Living in the UK
Are you a Brazilian citizen living in the UK who needs to handle an inheritance case in Brazil?
This situation is more common than you think — especially after the loss of a parent or close relative. The good news is: you don't need to travel to Brazil to manage it. With a notarized power of attorney issued by the Brazilian consulate, you can appoint a lawyer in Brazil to take care of everything on your behalf.
Many inheritance procedures can be resolved outside of court (via notary office), as long as there’s agreement among the heirs.
You will need:
- Personal documents
- Death certificate
- Property documentation
- Power of attorney signed at the consulate
Talk to a lawyer who understands both countries' systems and can resolve everything quickly and safely.
