Many foreign investors—from the United States, Europe, Russia, and other countries—are drawn to the promising real estate market in Brazil. Whether the goal is to buy, sell, or donate property, the need to be physically present for the transaction creates a significant barrier.
Travel delays, time differences, and unfamiliar legal requirements can quickly turn an exciting investment into a stressful challenge.
Without proper legal representation, deals can fall through, money can be lost, and opportunities can vanish. The Brazilian real estate system is complex, document-heavy, and not designed for remote participation—unless you have a Power of Attorney.
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to authorize a trusted Brazilian attorney to act fully on your behalf in real estate transactions and legal matters in Brazil.
This includes:
With a properly executed POA, your real estate goals in Brazil can move forward smoothly—even if you’re on the other side of the world.
A POA (Procuração) is a written authorization that legally allows another person—your representative—to act on your behalf.
Depending on the type and scope, it can cover:
1. Public Power of Attorney (Procuração Pública)
2. Private Power of Attorney (Procuração Particular)
Martin Law prepares and registers both types, ensuring they are 100% valid and accepted in Brazil.
