Foreigners buying property in the restricted zone of Mexico are required to purchase through a (fideicomiso) bank trust. In some cases, the buyer will take over an existing bank trust.  This is known as an Assignment of Rights (Cesión de Derechos) and depending on the amount of time left on the existing trust, you may be advised as the buyer to take over the trust rather than pay set-up costs to create a new trust.

We offer comprehensive and personalized estate planning, asset protection, business succession planning, business formation, probate and trust administration, charitable planning, and estate litigation services.  We are privileged to work with many individuals, families, and business owners to provide them peace of mind and would appreciate the opportunity to do the same for you.
