About this statute

Consensual separation and consensual divorce may be done by public deed if the couple has no minor or incapable children and the legal timing requirements are met. This article says the law takes effect on the date it is published. A partilha amigável entre partes capazes deve ser homologada de plano pelo juiz, se houver prova da quitação dos tributos do espólio e de suas rendas. Este artigo revoga o parágrafo único do art. 983 do Código de Processo Civil de 1973. This provision sets rules for probate and partition: judicial inventory is required if there is a will or an incapable interested person; otherwise, all capable and agreeing parties may use a public deed, and the notary may act only with legal assistance for all interested parties. It also sets deadlines of 60 days to open the proceeding and 12 months to finish it, with possible judicial extension.
