A man and two women, who have lived together in the same house three years ago in Tupa, SP, decided to rectify the situation. They searched the Civil Registry and made a deed of Union Poliafetiva. The trio's identity was not released by the notary.

According to the notary who made the record, Claudia Birth Domingues, the deed was done three months ago, but only on Wednesday (22) was published in the Official Gazette. "The statement is one way of ensuring the rights of family among them. Since they are not married but live together, so there is a stable, where rules are established to the family structure, "he says.

The president of the Bar Association of Marilia, Tayon Berlanga, explained that the document serves as a company asset.

"It entitles the trio regarding the division of property in case of separation and death. However, no guarantee the same rights that a family has, for example, receive death benefits or get a loan at the bank for the purchase of homeownership for example, be dependent on health plans and discount dependent on the declaration of income tax, "he adds.
