Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Mexico

Re: U.S. Citizen & Mex. National living in Mex.

You need to request the formation of a trust so you can be named beneficiary, together with your husband and you will require a visa status in order to execute legal documents in Mexico (the trust). If you were not married in Mexico it will be assumed you are in common property, so half of all assets and liabilities in Mexico will be yours.

Indeed, you are entitled to appear on the Deed only if a Trust is implemented, and the Marriage Certificate is duly revised in order to make sure that not specific clauses constrain your rights.

Yes you can buy a Property near the ocean front, but you will need a trust because as a foreigner you have some restrictions but with the trust this restiction is over. If you divorce you will not loose the property but you need a review of your matrimony agreement, you have the right for the value of the whole property, you do not need your wife to buy the peroperty, for more infromation you can visit us at www.gaa.com.mx and www.mexicanlawyers.com
