FAQ

Menor de idade pode praticar atos notariais e assinar escrituras?

Como funciona a emancipação pública de um jovem de 16 ou 17 anos no cartório?

If the young person has already reached 16 years of age, you and the other parent can grant voluntary emancipation by public deed at the notary office. The act does not require judicial authorization, but only produces legal effects against third parties after annotation in the Civil Registry of Natural Persons.

Qual a diferença entre representação e assistência de menores em negócios jurídicos?

In representation, parents sign the notarial act on behalf of the child under 16 years old. In assistance, aimed at young people between 16 and under 18 years old, the minor expresses their will and signs the document, receiving the consent and joint signature of the parents.
