Does British Husband Need To Sign Papers For Brazilian Wife To Buy Property In Brazil? Ie She Can’t Buy Alone?

07. Feb, 2010 2 Comments

This is a case of a separated British-Brazilian couple.
Brazilian wife lives in San Paulo and British husband lives in the UK.
As part of the divorce settlement, the husband was to buy a property for the wife in Brazil.
I’ve heard that the husband needs to sign for the papers, not sure if they needed his signature alone or of both people, but he had to go to Brazil to sign the papers.
Is this right?

    If the husband has to buy the property for her, he would have to sign the papers. He may not have to go to Brazil to do it. He needs to see a lawyer to find out exactly what is required. Most likely, a lawyer can represent him and take care of things on the Brazilian end.

    I agree with Imaka.
