How To Own Homes in Mexico For Sale, or Mexico Investment Property

A Trust

A Fideicomiso is a Trust Agreement. You see, in Mexico non-citizens may not own individual property or real estate within 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) of a national border, or 50 kilometers (about 31 miles) of the coast.

However, they can acquire and own property in these areas using a Trust Agreement, with a financial institution like a bank acting as their Trustee. Trust Agreements are routinely granted in public deeds before a Mexican notary public, which also arranges all necessary permits with the help of our executives and your real estate agent.

How the Trust Works

The seller transfers the property to the Trustee who registers the property in its name, acting solely as Trustee under that Trust Agreement. The buyer is designated beneficiary of the Trust.

The Advantages

After buying the property and thereby becoming the beneficiary, you will act as beneficial owner, having the possession and enjoyment of the property as well as all rights to dispose of it through the Trustee.

How long does it take?

Trusts are established within 15 business days once a permit has been issued by the Mexican Foreign Relations Department through the notary or the solicitor.
