Foreign Property Ownership in Mexico

Foreigners can legally buy real estate anywhere in Mexico with the same protections as Mexican citizens under the 1993 Foreign Investment Law. This includes residential homes, condos, land, and commercial properties.

What Is a Fideicomiso (Bank Trust)?

To buy property in Mexico’s coastal or border regions (the “Restricted Zone”), non-citizens use a Fideicomiso, which is similar to a living trust in the US or Canada.

Acquire real estate in Mexico with complete peace of mind through a Fideicomiso, which guarantees foreign buyers total ownership security.

Full Ownership Rights

The bank holds title as trustee, while you are the beneficiary, with complete control to live in, rent, remodel, mortgage, sell, or pass the property to heirs.

Safe & Renewable

A 50-year, perpetually renewable bank trust sanctioned by the Mexican Constitution.

Simple Succession

Name substitute beneficiaries in your trust, and the property passes to them without probate. The bank simply recognizes the next beneficiary in line.
