FAQ
Does a minor child need to sign the public deed?
No. When a real estate donation to a minor child occurs in pure form, without encumbrances or financial obligations imposed on the beneficiary, legislation waives the minor's express acceptance. Donors or legal representatives themselves sign the act before the notary public office (tabelionato de notas).
How does a real estate donation with usufruct reservation work?
A real estate donation to a minor with usufruct reservation transfers bare ownership (nua-propriedade) to the child, while donors maintain the right to use and receive income from the asset. This allows parents to reside in or rent out the property until the end of their lives or a stipulated term.
What documents are required to perform the donation?
Identification documents of the parties, the minor's birth certificate, updated property title certificate, tax clearance certificates, and the paid ITCMD (State Estate and Gift Tax) tax form are required.
