Ok.. a little back info. I have been married to a Brazilian national, now dual citizen for eight years and we are planning on retiring in Sao Paulo. She is the title holder (in her Birth Name) on her mothers home. We are not legally married in Brazil although i plan to bring our documents down on the next visit and get this resolved.
When i get my Marriage legalized in Brazil will my wife need to change her name on the title to that property? My Mother in Law is planning on moving soon, how soon i am not sure. I would like to get my permanent Visa and CPF and begin purchasing property to prep for my retirement. I wouldn't think that she needs to change the title at all but she says her mother insists we wait until she has sold that property and purchased another so she doesn't have to pay multiple fees for changing the name. I just don't know how long that will be and i want to start buying property ASAP.
Does anyone have a clear understanding of Brazilian property laws or know if the name chage on the title is required as soon as our marriage is legalized in Brazil?
Thank you!
