5,0 · 18 Google reviewsRegularizing means making the property’s reality match its registry record. Outstanding issues may complicate a sale, security or probate; their effect depends on the defect. We handle recording, correction and titling — and the cases that require adverse possession or specific performance. Not sure where to start? The property regularization diagnosis indicates, from the property’s situation, which route is likely to be yours. To understand each route before deciding, our guide to property regularization in Brazil walks through recording, area correction, REURB, adverse possession, compulsory adjudication and probate.
What we regularize.

- Land titling (REURB)Urban land regularization of informal urban settlements, with the city and the registry.
- "Gaveta" contractProperty bought without a deed: we set the route (deed, adjudication or adverse possession) and execute it.

Why regularize a property?
Regularization addresses ownership, construction or property-description issues. Civil Code article 1,245 requires registration of the transfer instrument for an inter vivos transfer, but an unrecorded building does not itself mean that the landowner lacks ownership. Resolving the issue may assist sale, financing and succession, without guaranteeing credit or removing every restriction.
What is the difference between recording, correction and titling?
Recording registers facts such as a construction; correction fixes the area/boundaries; titling (REURB) regularizes informal urban settlements. The initial diagnosis defines your case — often a combination.
I only have a "gaveta" contract. Can it be regularized?
It may be possible. Depending on the title, chain of transfers and legal requirements, options include a deed and registration, compulsory conveyance or adverse possession. The documents determine the appropriate route; regularization or a universally fastest solution cannot be guaranteed.
How long does it take?
It varies with the pending issue and the agencies involved. A simple recording is relatively quick; titling and adverse possession take longer. We give a realistic estimate after the diagnosis.
