[2][3][4] He would get married April 11th 1916 in Rio De Janeiro to named Laura Ferreira do Amaral and two of them would have 6 daughters the most notable being Edna Lott.

After President Getúlio Vargas' final downfall in 1954, his successor Café Filho appointed Lott, known for his loyalty to the constitutional government, as Minister of War.

As the military itself were bitterly divided politically, there were fears that part of it, with support of President Café Filho, would attempt to prevent elected leaders from taking office.

Lott played a key role in a so-called "Revolution of November 11", ousting Café Filho and Luz after just three days in power, and installing the next in line, Senate First Vice President Nereu Ramos until Kubitschek and Goulart were sworn in.

After the 1964 military coup Lott mostly retired from political life, displeased with his colleagues ousting a legal government.
