Request issuanceThe deed is the document drawn up at a notary public’s office that formalizes the transaction. However, the property only becomes the buyer’s upon registration of the deed in the Real Estate Registry (Civil Code, Art. 1,245). An unregistered deed does not transfer ownership.
For real estate transactions valued at more than 30 minimum wages (Civil Code, Art. 108). There are exceptions provided for by law, such as contracts under the Housing Finance System and fiduciary sales, which may be executed by private instrument with the same legal effect as a notarial deed.
It is an up-to-date copy of the property’s title deed, including its full history: owners, mortgages, fiduciary sales, liens, and other encumbrances. It is the first document to be reviewed before any offer is made.
For the preparation of the deed, the certificate of encumbrances must have been issued no more than 30 days prior (Decree No. 93,240/1986, Art. 1, IV). For this reason, it is usually the last document to be requested.
As a general rule, the buyer is responsible, in accordance with each municipality’s laws. The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has ruled (Case No. 1,124) that the taxable event for the ITBI tax is the transfer of title at the Real Estate Registry. In practice, notary offices and city halls have their own procedures: be sure to confirm these before scheduling the deed signing.
Yes, when the heirs are in agreement and represented by an attorney (CPC, Art. 610). Since the adoption of CNJ Resolution No. 571/2024, extrajudicial probate has also been possible in cases involving minor or legally incapacitated heirs, under specific conditions.
Yes. Extrajudicial adverse possession is processed at the Real Estate Registry, with the assistance of an attorney, a notarial deed, and a site plan and survey report signed by a licensed professional (Law No. 6,015/1973, Art. 216-A).
No. Without registration, the buyer is not considered the owner with respect to third parties: the property may be seized to satisfy the seller’s debts, resold, or become subject to probate. If this is your situation, there are ways to resolve it.
It is an audit of the property and the seller prior to the transaction: property registration, judicial, tax, labor, and protest certificates, as well as any debts associated with the property and its zoning status. The result is a report detailing the risks and conditions necessary to safely close the deal.
Informational content, which is not a substitute for an analysis of the specific case.
Every opportunity has a different origin—an undeveloped plot of land, an underutilized family asset, or an investor looking for a project. Tettu designs the business model and coordinates every step until the project gets off the ground.
We identify plots of land and parcels with potential, assess the asset’s suitability, and manage the project—whether it involves subdivision, a condominium development, or real estate development—through to its launch.
We connect property owners, developers, and investors through barter, partnership, and co-investment models, with clear rules regarding capital contributions, returns, and governance.
A separate corporate entity for each project — risk segregation, investor participation, and accountability.
Building permit, designated property, and registration—the project is ready for sale.
ITBI, ITCMD, capital gains, and the tax regime should be determined before the transaction, not after.
No registry office in the region had ever registered a condominium consisting of lots based on Law 4,591/64 and Article 1,358-A of the Civil Code. We drafted the complete incorporation memorandum—including designated assets, a clubhouse, and five green spaces—and managed the registration process from start to finish until approval by the 2nd Real Estate Registry Office in Volta Redonda. Result: the development was 100% sold.

Tettu provided real estate development services for my company, allowing me to sell the units in my project even before construction was complete. Thanks to Tettu, I avoided a lot of headaches.
Tettu transferred ownership of my commercial space to my name through the proper deed. I was hesitant to sell or rent it because it wasn't in my name. I was very happy that the situation was resolved.
