ESTATE PLANNING

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN THE UNITED STATES? 

Estate planning in the United States is essential for anyone getting married. It includes: Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements, Brazilian and American Certificates, Certified and Sworn Translations, and Retirement Benefits with the SSA and INSS.

\1. Prenup (Prenuptial Agreement)

A contract signed before marriage that establishes how assets and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or death, protecting both parties’ interests from the start.

2. Postnup (Postnuptial Agreement)

Serves the same purpose as a prenup but is signed after marriage — useful when a couple’s financial circumstances change or when they want to formalize new agreements during the relationship.

3. Brazilian and American Certificates

Obtaining birth, marriage, death, and background certificates, both in Brazil and in the U.S., required for immigration proceedings, marriage, and other legal procedures.

4. Certified and Sworn Translations

Translation of official Brazilian documents into English (and vice versa), certified and accepted by U.S. agencies such as USCIS, notaries, and financial institutions.

5. Retirement Benefits (SSA and INSS)

Guidance and support for applying for and managing retirement benefits with both the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the U.S. and INSS in Brazil.
