Portugal recognizes prenuptial agreements under domestic law and the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Matrimonial Property Regimes. Spouses may select from statutory marital regimes or customize their arrangements within legal limits.
Our Global Practice Perspective
For international couples, Portugal’s alignment with international conventions provides predictability and facilitates recognition abroad. Agreements can be particularly important for families with cross-border property holdings or multinational residency ties.
From New York and San Francisco, international family lawyer Elena Giannattasio advises clients with cross-border family law matters involving Portugal, providing advanced forum analysis and strategic coordination with trusted local counsel in Portuguese law and other relevant jurisdictions, as appropriate.
