Plain-English Summary
International Probate Recovery Group, LLC ("IPRG," "we," "us," or "our") provides non-legal operational, research, document-coordination, translation-coordination, public-records review, asset-location support, family-asset organization, and administrative coordination services connected to cross-border probate, inheritance, estate recovery, unclaimed assets, and related family-asset matters involving the United States and Brazil.
IPRG is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, regulated financial, fiduciary, probate, estate-planning, or asset-management services. Using this website or communicating with IPRG does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, or other regulated professional-client relationship, and nothing on this website is legal advice. When those services are required, they must be provided by appropriately licensed professionals under separate engagement arrangements.
This Legal Disclaimer should be read together with IPRG's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which govern website use, data handling, and the full terms of any interaction. If you do not agree, do not use the website or submit information through it.
1. Not a Law Firm; No Legal Advice
IPRG is a North Carolina limited liability company providing non-legal business, operational, research, document-coordination, translation-coordination, public-records review, asset-location, family-asset organization, and administrative coordination services. IPRG does not practice law, does not represent any person before any court, tribunal, registry, or agency, does not prepare legal documents for filing on behalf of others, does not advise on legal rights or remedies, and does not determine legal entitlement to inheritance, estate assets, unclaimed property, or government benefits.
Nothing on this website is a legal opinion, legal advice, probate or court representation, estate-planning advice, a promise to furnish the services of a lawyer, or a representation that IPRG may perform work reserved to licensed attorneys. North Carolina law restricts the unauthorized practice of law (see N.C. Gen. Stat. § 84-4 and § 84-5), and in Brazil the practice of advocacy is reserved to OAB-registered attorneys under the Estatuto da Advocacia, Lei nº 8.906/1994. Where legal work is required, it must be handled by a duly licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction under a separate engagement.
IPRG does not charge or share attorney fees and does not receive compensation for the practice of law or for regulated professional services. IPRG's compensation, if any, is for lawful non-legal services.
2. No Attorney-Client, Fiduciary, or Other Professional Relationship
Visiting the website, reading IPRG materials, submitting a form, emailing or speaking with IPRG, receiving a response or a preliminary factual summary, or being introduced to a licensed attorney or other professional does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, tax-advisory, accountant-client, financial-advisory, or investment-advisory relationship. IPRG does not act as executor, administrator, personal representative, trustee, guardian, attorney-in-fact, escrow agent, or custodian of funds.
Any such relationship can be formed only through a separate engagement made directly with the appropriate licensed professional, subject to that professional's own conflict checks, engagement terms, and client-consent requirements. IPRG is not an attorney referral service and does not guarantee that any attorney or professional will accept a matter.
Do not send money, original legal documents, account credentials, or other controlled assets to IPRG unless a specific written arrangement has been reviewed and approved through appropriate channels.
3. No Guarantee of Results
IPRG does not guarantee any result, including asset or inheritance recovery, estate distribution, probate success, court or agency action, recognition as an heir or beneficiary, approval of an unclaimed-property, retirement, pension, death-benefit, insurance, or government-benefit claim, discovery of additional assets, acceptance of documents by any institution, or any specific outcome or timeline. All matters depend on facts, documents, applicable law, institutional and agency requirements, and the decisions of third parties outside IPRG's control. Prior research findings or examples do not predict future results.
4. Public Records Are Preliminary Leads
IPRG may review public records, government databases, court indexes, unclaimed property databases, business registries, property records, and other lawful or authorized sources. Such research may be incomplete, delayed, outdated, incorrectly indexed, unavailable online, sealed, or restricted. A negative search result does not necessarily mean no record exists, and a positive result does not establish legal ownership, entitlement, heirship, beneficiary status, authenticity, or the right to recover funds or property. Public-records findings should be treated as preliminary factual leads unless and until verified through appropriate lawful channels.
5. Deadlines and Urgent Matters
Estate, probate, inheritance, unclaimed-property, government-benefit, insurance, tax, and court-related matters may involve strict deadlines, limitation periods, abandonment rules, and other time-sensitive obligations. IPRG does not provide legal advice about deadlines and does not preserve any legal right, claim, appeal, benefit, or deadline on your behalf. If you believe a deadline may apply, consult a licensed attorney or other appropriate professional in the relevant jurisdiction immediately. Do not rely on website content or non-legal operational support to preserve legal rights or deadlines.
6. Translations and Multilingual Materials
IPRG may coordinate translations or provide bilingual or multilingual materials for administrative, operational, or communication purposes. Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, translations coordinated by IPRG are not legal opinions, certified legal interpretations, sworn translations, court-approved translations, or official government translations. Some institutions, courts, agencies, or registries may require certified, sworn, apostilled, notarized, or consular translations, and where a legal or official translation is required, an appropriately authorized translator or professional should be used.
7. No Government Affiliation
IPRG is a private company. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by any government agency, court, public registry, retirement system, unclaimed property office, tax authority, consulate, embassy, financial institution, insurance company, or bar association, unless expressly stated in a specific written communication. References to government agencies, courts, public records, pension or retirement systems, or other institutions are for informational or coordination purposes only.
8. Cross-Border Limits
Cross-border matters involving the United States and Brazil may involve multiple legal systems, courts, registries, privacy laws, tax rules, succession rules, professional rules, and document-authentication and translation requirements. IPRG's role is limited to non-legal operational, factual, administrative, research, document-coordination, translation-coordination, and communication support. IPRG does not determine which country's law applies, which court has jurisdiction, who is legally entitled to inherit, whether a document is legally sufficient, or whether a claim should be filed. Those determinations must be made by appropriately licensed professionals.
Nothing on this website is intended to violate the Estatuto da Advocacia, the OAB Code of Ethics, the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD), the Marco Civil da Internet, or any other mandatory Brazilian law or professional rule.
9. Sensitive Information and Confidentiality
Do not submit highly sensitive information, such as Social Security or taxpayer identification numbers, identity-document images, account credentials, or full financial or medical records, through the public contact form unless IPRG specifically requests it through an approved method. The Privacy Policy describes how IPRG handles sensitive information.
Contacting IPRG through the public website does not create attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or any regulated professional privilege, and ordinary business communications with IPRG should not be treated as privileged. If you need privileged legal advice, consult a licensed attorney directly.
10. Related Policies, Changes, and Contact
Use of the website is also governed by IPRG's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which address data handling, international transfers, website security, third-party links, and the other terms of any interaction. Nothing in this Legal Disclaimer waives any consumer-protection, privacy, data-protection, professional-conduct, or other right or protection that cannot be waived under applicable law. If any part of this Legal Disclaimer is unenforceable, the remaining parts continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
IPRG may update this Legal Disclaimer from time to time. The updated version will be identified by the "Last Updated" date above, and continued use of the website means the updated version applies. For questions about this Legal Disclaimer, contact:
