06/23/25 I just received the "advantages of citizenship" article. Can you own property aka the house I live in that is on my wife's property as a Brazilian Permanent Resident?

The short answer is yes, you can.  The longer answer will depend on how your wife holds title (e.g., whether it's by Escritura [title registered in a cartório] or simple possession), and on how she conveys that title to you. 

@abthree If I remember correctly, I am a Brazilian Permanent Resident because of my daughter. How will that work with any property that my wife wants to add me to. Do we have to get married again in Brazil or should I work all this thru my daughter. Also, the family is unanimous that EVERYTHING will go to our daughter. Is there anything we need to do in advance?

P.S. I just want to let you know that I appreciate and am looking to you as the best resource because you are the most knowledgeable and not just because it appears everyone else has left the room😒

No, any real estate transfer is between the permanent resident and the owner.  The basis of the permanent resident's status doesn't enter into it.

@abthree Great!!! I am still very, very comfortable...You know you are in the right family when you casually stop by your grandmother's house (my wife's mother), and she is on her porch getting a pedicure. 🙂
