Procuração for Brazil, signed in New Jersey
For bank matters, an inheritance or selling property in Brazil, a family member there usually needs a procuração from you. How you sign it here decides what they'll have to do there.
Two routes, different work in Brazil
| Route | What happens in Brazil |
|---|---|
| US notary + New Jersey apostille | The document needs a sworn translation (tradutor juramentado) and registration at a Registro de Títulos e Documentos office before use. (TJSC rules) |
| Brazilian consulate (procuração pública) | Exempt from translation and registration. For selling or buying property, Brazilian law generally calls for a public-form procuração, so this is usually the right route. |
Ask the cartório or lawyer in Brazil which route they'll accept before you sign.
