Portuguese heirship deeds
In Portugal the heirs of someone who has died are identified by a habilitação de herdeiros, a formal declaration of who the heirs are, made before a notary or at a civil registry office. It names the deceased, the date of death and each heir with their relationship, and Portuguese banks and land registries rely on it.
When a Newark resident inherits in Portugal, the habilitação comes here to be translated for their lawyer or a New Jersey court. When a Newark resident dies owning property in Portugal, the New Jersey death certificate travels the other way, apostilled and translated into Portuguese - and Portuguese notaries may want that translation certified in Portugal or by a Portuguese consulate, so ask them first.
