Do Portuguese immigrants belong to the joint property of husband and wife or whose name is the house?

As real estate is one of the main assets of the family, both husband and wife are sensitive to the name on the real estate license when buying a house. In the process of buying a house in Portugal, there is a clear classification for the way of property division:

1. Property division (owned by the main applicant only)

2. Property division after marriage (that is, the property owned by the husband and wife before marriage is not divided, and the property after marriage is regarded as owned by the husband and wife, and is distributed equally).

3. Husband and wife's property is * * * (that is, whether before marriage or after marriage, it is regarded as husband and wife's property and distributed uniformly and evenly).

When buying a house in Portugal, you need to sign a POA (power of attorney) and a commitment contract, both of which should specify the way of property distribution, and the final title deed should be issued according to the way of property distribution in the contract.

For example, when buying a house, you don't pay attention to signing contracts and documents, and you just choose the way of property division, then the final title deed will show that the property belongs only to the main applicant.
