Buying Property in Mexico's Restricted Zone: Foreign Ownership Trusts
When purchasing in Mexico's restricted zone — within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of the border — foreigners cannot hold direct title and instead use a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation.
A fideicomiso lets you enjoy full ownership rights — live in, rent, remodel, sell, or pass the property to heirs — under renewable 50-year terms. Galarza Legal specializes in creating and managing these trusts in Baja California.
