@mberigan Actually, there is no such thing as title insurance anywhere in Brazil. I personally have only come across it in Florida, as a result of problems with record keeping in the past - never seen it in any other country... Read More

@roddiesho Basically, whatever measurement is recorded in the escritura will be the law, although it can be challenged if you feel there has been a serious mistake, using the services of a topographer and attorney. The problem in the countryside is ... Read More

@roddiesho Are you talking about construction or land? Usually measured in square meters, or acres and hectares for larger areas of land. Read More

@ltoby955So I talked to an attorney friend here in Brazil on your behalf, and she advised that due to the 鈥渏us solis鈥� rule, whatever the regime or marriage agreement that is adopted when the marriage takes place, it would also be applied ... Read More

@ltoby955 Great idea to retain your own attorney - just to make sure you are getting the best advice for your requirements and interests. I am uncertain how the assets would be split if the marriage occurs outside Brazil, and it is just "recognised" ... Read More

@Peter Itamaraca Porto Seguro has a two-story limit, too. Any idea why? - @alan279 Primarily to avoid becoming like Floripa, when the tall buildings fronting the beach cast a shadow all afternoon meaning the beaches get no sunshine in the pm, but ... Read More

@Peter Itamaraca I saw three new 552KVA transformers near several 12 story residential buildings under construction on the beach. These transformers are twice as big as the usual neighborhood transformers. - @alan279 Unfortunately, I cannot comment ... Read More

@Joesphwilliams834 It is called "sondagem" and helps the architect/engineer design the necessary foundations, depending on how the ground tests for absorption come back. This is particularly important near beach locations. Read More

@alan279 It is difficult to comment on one neighbourhood that I do not know, when there are so many variances all over Brazil...! I do not know what the rating is for your transformers, but it does make sense they will all be rated the same... Read More

@Joesphwilliams834 Hi thanks for the advice, most informative. Would you recommend that I get a company to do the whole project - @Joesphwilliams834 I would start by identifying a suitable local (english speaking?) architect, and sitting down with ... Read More
