Código Civil Brasileiro

The Código Civil Brasileiro (Brazilian Civil Code) is the legal framework that governs private relationships between individuals and entities in Brazil. It establishes rules for matters such as civil rights, obligations, contracts, property, family relationships, inheritance, and personal capacities. Its purpose is to ensure order, protect individual rights, and provide legal clarity in everyday interactions. The code is divided into sections covering general principles, people’s capacities, property law, and family law, reflecting Brazil’s approach to maintaining social harmony through clear and consistent regulations.
