How is land registry done?
Property is registered in Brazil via private notary publics, under justice control. Each property can only be registered at one registry which stores the entire transaction history and physical identification of each property. This information can be viewed by the public and so many Brazilians buy and sell property without the assistance of a lawyer however it is recommended for a foreigner buying Brazilian property to get legal assistance.
