My sisters and I own an apartment in Sao Paulo, Brasil where my mother has been living for years. We recently put it for sale and found a buyer since my mother is planning on moving to the states. On the direction of the Miami Brasilian consulate we gave my mother a full power of attorney signed off by the consulate to sell the property.
We quickly found a buyer and my mother used her power of attorney to go through the motions of verifying that there were no leans on the property. All went as expected until the buyer's finance company all of a sudden started to make what i call unjustified demands from my mother. They are claiming my mothers CPF is not enough and are asking us to provide individual CPF's along with Brazilian residency cards instead of the power of attorney we obtained trough the consulate. They are claiming they need to do a background check on us to make sure we don't have judgments?!?
My question is....wouldn't any judgment be placed on the title of the property instead of the individual? In other words, if the title came up clear while using my mothers CPF during the search shouldn't it be sufficient to prove the property is clear? They are even going as far as asking for my deceased grandmothers CPF!!!! She's not even on the deed.
Either way, the three of us have lived in the United States for over 40 years. We do not have resident cards, CPF's etc. Isn't the complete power of attorney recognized by the Brazilian consulate up here enough to complete the sale?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
