Why Brazil Needs Escrow & Title
Understanding the Brazilian Real Estate Landscape
Brazil's real estate market presents unique challenges and opportunities. Understanding these is essential for secure, compliant transactions.
Property rights rely on registration
In Brazil, property ownership is not complete until properly registered at the Registro de Imóveis (Property Registry).
Key Details
- Closings only become legally effective against third parties after official registration (Law 6.015/73)
- The registration system is decentralized, with over 3,600 independent registry offices nationwide
- Each registry office maintains its own records, making centralized title searches challenging
- Registration delays can leave buyers vulnerable to competing claims or undisclosed liens
- Professional title review is essential to identify issues before funds are transferred
Impact
Without proper title verification and escrow protection, buyers risk paying for property they cannot legally own.
¹
We centralize these complex requirements into one secure, compliant workflow - protecting buyers, sellers, and lenders throughout the transaction.

The First-Mover Advantage
Traditional Brazilian real estate transactions have historically relied on cartórios (notary offices) and registros de imóveis (property registries) as the core infrastructure for documenting and recording property transfers. While these institutions remain essential, the introduction of CNJ Provimento nº 197/2025 establishing notarial escrow accounts represents a watershed moment—creating a formal framework for condition-based custody of funds by notaries.
Simultaneously, BACEN's strengthened AML/KYC requirements (Circular 3.978/2020, Resolução BCB 119/2021) and the growing volume of international investment (particularly via RN-36 investor visas) have created demand for international-standard escrow and title services that can bridge Brazilian legal requirements with the transparency and security expectations of global buyers, sellers, and lenders.
Brazil Escrow & Title is purpose-built for this emerging landscape—combining local legal compliance with institutional-grade processes to deliver the clarity and protection that cross-border transactions demand.
