The São Paulo Court of Justice (TJ-SP), through its Precatory Execution Office (DEPRE), published on Friday, May 29, 2026, the Notice of Precatory Agreements No. 01/2026. The official measure sets the rules for creditors of the State of São Paulo, its agencies, and foundations to request early payment of precatory debts in exchange for a discount on the amount owed.
Under the notice, eligible applicants are holders of precatory claims with no pending court challenges or appeals and whose claims are included in the chronological budget up to the 2026 fiscal year. Requests must be submitted between June 1 and September 30, 2026, through the Precatory Portal of the State Attorney General’s Office (PGE/SP).
The agreement program offers an optional accelerated payment path, allowing creditors to receive funds before the regular schedule, but only if they accept the applicable haircut. The standard discount is 40% of the updated value of the credit. For super-priority creditors, such as those entitled because of age, serious illness, or disability, the discount is lower at 20%, applied after the preferential portion has been paid. Attorneys’ fees, whether contractual or awarded by the court, are excluded from the discount base if they are listed separately.
Applications must be filed electronically on the PGE/SP portal and supported by documents such as personal identification, proof of final judgment, and the requisition calculation. Lawyers representing creditors who are not yet formally registered in the electronic case file must regularize their status in the TJ-SP e-SAJ system to avoid delays or blocking of the request.
Payment of approved agreements will depend on the financial ceiling set in São Paulo State’s 2026 Annual Payment Plan. If the funds deposited in the special account managed by the court are insufficient to cover all accepted proposals, the notice states that payments will follow the original chronological order of the precatory claims.
The new notice creates an organized voluntary settlement channel for precatory holders seeking faster payment. It also preserves the legal ranking of claims and keeps the state’s payment process tied to available budget resources. Eligible participants include holders, heirs, assignees, and attorneys, provided the claim is liquid, certain, enforceable, and free of judicial pending issues.
