Foreign ownership of Mexican property is now secure
In recent years, the laws regarding property ownership in Mexico have changed dramatically for non-Mexican citizens. The advent of NAFTA, improved world-wide technology and sweeping changes in Mexican politics have made purchasing property in Mexico a much easier and more secure process, especially for residents of Canada and the United States.

In Mexico, a foreigner or foreign corporation obtains all the rights of ownership (meaning you can sell, lease, use, bequeath, improve, transfer and encumber the properties) through a bank trust also known as a Fideicomiso. The bank trust is established by the government and gives you the very same rights of ownership enjoyed by Mexican citizens. The only difference is that the actual title is held in trust for you by a trustee, typically a bank. The trust operates the same way as a family trust in the U.S.
