LAW FIRM
Advisory that follows every stage of a property acquisition, from offer to registration, so no decision is made without full information.
Most buyers only bring in a lawyer after signing the contract, or after a problem has already surfaced. By then, most of the clauses already carry legal effect, and there's little room left to negotiate. Legal advisory for a real estate purchase exists to reverse that order: stepping in before signing, while it's still possible to negotiate, correct, or decline.
Verification of the property's updated title record, the parties' personal certificates, and the property's own certificates.
Adjustment of clauses in the private contract, purchase agreement, or financing instrument, including conditions precedent and penalties.
Individual ownership, corporate ownership, or the wealth structure best suited to the case.
Support through the notarized deed, ITBI transfer tax payment, and final registration at the real estate registry.
A property can look perfectly regular during a visit while carrying an unpaid lien, a pending lawsuit against the seller, or a contract clause that shifts a risk onto the buyer that should belong to the seller. None of this shows up in the listing. All of it shows up in the legal review. Before signing, it's possible to act on these issues; afterward, they become part of the wealth you've acquired.
This advisory serves buyers of mid- and high-end properties, investors, business owners, families relocating, and buyers based outside Ceará or outside Brazil, the latter with added attention to powers of attorney, foreign exchange, and documentation specific to non-residents.
Before. Once a private contract or purchase agreement is signed, unfavorable clauses already carry legal effect. A prior review is what allows you to negotiate or decline risky terms.
It varies with the complexity of the due diligence and any pending title issues, but the typical engagement covers everything from the initial review to final registration, with timelines communicated at every stage.
No. Notary offices and registries perform a public function of drafting and recording. Legal advisory operates before and throughout that process, making sure the documentation is correct and the client's interests are protected.

RELATED INSIGHTA closer look at contract review: the clauses that most often expose the buyer to risk.
If you're evaluating a property, even if the offer isn't final yet, this is the moment to talk.
