How does the property registration system work in Brazil?
The property registration system in Brazil is well developed and safe. The registration itself is carried out by private notary publics. All property is registered at one single registry in the particular area where you buy, which records details of the entire commercial history and the physical identification of each property. It is obviously very important to ensure that any property you buy in Brazil has a clear title. Access to registry information is available to the public and includes relevant details on ownership, mortgages and other pending debts.
