Before buying property in Mexico, you should verify the property's legal status (title search, no liens or encumbrances), confirm zoning and land use regulations, review all contracts and agreements carefully, and understand the tax implications. For properties in the restricted zone (within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of borders), foreign buyers must use a bank trust (fideicomiso). We guide clients through every step of this process.
We handle contract disputes and enforcement, debt collection, personal injury and liability claims, property disputes, inheritance and estate matters, and general civil litigation. Our approach is to seek efficient resolution through negotiation whenever possible, while being fully prepared to litigate when necessary.
Yes, foreigners can own property in Mexico. For properties located outside the "restricted zone" (more than 50 km from the coast or 100 km from borders), foreigners can hold direct title. For properties within the restricted zone — which includes the entire Riviera Maya and coastal areas — ownership is through a bank trust called a fideicomiso. This trust gives you all the rights of ownership, including the right to sell, rent, or pass the property to your heirs. We specialize in setting up and managing fideicomisos for foreign buyers.
A fideicomiso is a bank trust that allows foreigners to own property in Mexico's restricted zone. A Mexican bank holds legal title to the property as trustee, while you (the beneficiary) retain all ownership rights — including the right to use, rent, sell, improve, or bequeath the property. The trust is established for 50 years and can be renewed indefinitely. Annual trust fees apply. We handle the entire fideicomiso setup process, making property ownership straightforward and secure.
Yes, we assist foreign clients with temporary and permanent residency applications, visa renewals, and related immigration matters. We guide you through the requirements, documentation, and application process to make your transition to living in Mexico as smooth as possible.
