Ms Jardim´s track record in citizenship is highly impressive. Her hands-on approach, calm demeanour and sensitivity helps put everyone at ease. Her passion for the subject is highly infectious.
I work on all paths towards Portuguese nationality, whether through Portuguese descent, length of residence in Portugal or marriage and civil partnership with citizens.
In terms of nationality by marriage, I also have experience in processes of transcription of foreign marriages and judicial recognition of divorce. As far as nationality by descent, I rely on the collaboration of genealogists and paleographers for essential research to prove ancestry. And in what nationality by residence is concerned, I benefit from a comprehensive perspective of immigration law.
Rita was recommended to me for my investment pivot from Asia to Portugal. I find her timely, clear, thorough, professional, and highly effective, particularly to those new to Portugal and its laws. She has proven herself time and again.
From the full legal due diligence, through all aspects of transferring legal title of real property until completion, I assist our clients in navigating the process of buying real estate in Portugal. I strive to make this as reassuring as possible, bridging gaps in cultural and legal differences. I endeavour to build good relationships with property brokers and the seller´s legal advisors without ever losing sight of the independence required from a lawyer and steering clear from any conflict of interests.
Whether resident or non resident in Portugal, foreigners with assets in Portugal are advised to draft a will so they can freely dispose of those assets in Portugal, electing their home law. Each persons’ assets, objectives and family dynamics are different. In drafting up their will in Portugal I help my clients pass on assets in an orderly way, easing the succession process, minimizing the hassle and cost for inheritors in such a sensitive moment in a family´s life.
