Power of attorney for use in Brazil and abroad

A power of attorney lets someone else act on your behalf — selling property, representing you in an estate, opening a bank account or registering a company. When it crosses borders, it has to be in the right format, translated and legalized.

We help draft bilingual private powers of attorney, arrange public powers of attorney at Brazilian notary offices, signature recognition, sworn translation and the apostille or legalization for the country where it will be used.

For Brazilians living abroad, we advise on executing the document at a Brazilian consulate or a local notary with an apostille, and take care of the translation when it arrives in Brazil.

Frequently asked questions

Public or private power of attorney — which do I need?

It depends on the act. Selling property in Brazil, for example, requires a public power of attorney. Many procedures abroad accept a private one with recognised signature and apostille. We check the requirement for your case.

I live abroad. How do I make a power of attorney for use in Brazil?

You can execute it at a Brazilian consulate or with a local notary plus apostille. If it is in another language, we produce the sworn translation in Brazil.
