About managing the death abroad of a loved one in Portugal
Who it is for
Families whose loved one has died in another country. A local lawyer can help with the legal and official steps. This includes bringing the body home, dealing with local officials, getting papers such as the death certificate, and handling what the person owned. Families may also need guidance on local inheritance rules.
How it works
It starts with a meeting to understand what happened. The lawyer then contacts the local offices to speed up the release of the body, either to send it home or for a local burial. If the death was sudden, the lawyer can deal with the police and the coroner (the official who looks into unexpected deaths). All steps follow local law.
What the service includes
- Collecting the details to see which steps are needed
- Handling the paperwork
- Speaking with officials for you
- Arranging for the body to be taken home, if needed
- Keeping you informed at every step

A Google search led me to this service when I needed legal help in Lithuania. The lawyer offered a well-informed opinion along with a quote for the fees, the job was done efficiently and effectively, and the solution to my problem pleased me.

Her service was first class, the best I could have hoped for. She was helpful at every turn and happily explained whatever I had not understood, and I was completely satisfied with the outcome. The survey cannot capture the extent of what she did for my family. Her grasp of her field, and explaining everything in both Portuguese and English, is amazing. I am deeply grateful.

A very nice lawyer who helped me quickly solve the problems I presented. She also introduced me to the various things one must have as a resident in Portugal and helped me sort them out. Her English was perfect, and I am very pleased with the help I received.
