All land buyers who purchase real estate within 50 km of a coastline must place the deed to their land in a trust vehicle called a fideicomiso. The use of the fideicomiso permits the safe, secure transfer of land between seller and buyer.

A Mexican bank will hold the deed for your land in trust. The bank is obligated to act in the sole interest of the trust beneficiary – you! You control the bank’s actions with regard to your land and you cannot lose your ownership interest. The trust essentially creates a fee simple ownership of land and you have all the rights to the land that you would have if you held the title yourself.

Since the fideicomiso has been established, not one single owner has lost his ownership rights when using the fideicomiso. Simply put, it is the safest way to own land in Mexico. Don’t believe sellers who try to tell you that you don’t need a fideicomiso. That’s simply not true. By establishing the fideicomiso, you will circumvent the potential for problems to arise during your purchase of land.

Another safety mechanism you should look for is title insurance. All properties sold through Select Mexico Properties come with title insurance, so you can be certain that your land will not be subject to last-minute ownership claims or claims that arise after the sale. Your investment will be completely protected by a title insurance policy through First American Title.

By combining the protections of a fideicomiso and title insurance, you can be sure that your experience with buying real estate in Mexico is safe, pleasant and secure. If you would like more information about buying ral estate in Mexico, please contact Select Mexico Properties today!
