Everything you need to know about the fideicomiso

As a foreigner, buying property in Mexico requires understanding the fideicomiso system. This legal mechanism allows you to be the beneficiary of a property located in the restricted zone (50km from the coast).

What is a fideicomiso?

It's a contract where a Mexican bank (trustee) holds the property title for your benefit. You have all the rights of use, enjoyment and disposition of the property.

Benefits of the fideicomiso:

  • • Total legal security
  • • You can sell, rent or inherit the property
  • • 50-year renewable term
  • • Protection of your investment

Step-by-step process:

  1. Property selection
  2. Fideicomiso constitution
  3. Legal due diligence
  4. Deed signing
  5. Public Registry registration
