Personal property regime of spouses in Portugal

The regime of joint ownership of property acquired during marriage (Regime de Comunhão de Adquiridos). The most common one, which provides joint ownership only of the property that was acquired by the spouses during the marriage. At the same time, the property that belonged to the spouses before the marriage, and the property that was received as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, is considered the personal property of each of the spouses.

The regime of joint ownership of all property (Regime de Comunhão Geral de Bens). Provides that all property, including property acquired before marriage and inherited/gifted, will be jointly owned by the spouses. At the same time, the specified regime of property can’t be chosen in case of children from a previous marriage.

Personal property regime (Regime de Separação de Bens). Presupposes that the property belongs exclusively to the person in whose name it was acquired. At the same time, for example, when buying an apartment, a spouse can designate both the husband and the wife as the buyer. When the property is divided, such an apartment will be divided in equal shares.

The conclusion of a marriage contract in Portugal is possible only before the marriage. But it takes place either at a notary public or at the state civil registry body.
