Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fideicomiso (Mexican Real Estate Trust)
What Is a Fideicomiso? A fideicomiso is a bank trust that allows foreigners to legally own property in Mexico’s restricted zone (within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of the border). The bank holds the title as trustee, but you retain full ownership rights, allowing you to sell, rent, or pass the property to heirs. The trust lasts 50 years and is renewable indefinitely.
Why Is It Secure?
Government-Regulated – Banks follow strict financial and legal oversight.
Full Ownership Control – It’s not a lease; you have full property rights.
Flexibility – You can sell or transfer ownership anytime.
A fideicomiso is a safe, established method for foreigners to invest in Mexican real estate with confidence.

• Drafting the Trust: Legal professionals collaborate with a notary to draft the trust agreement.
