Real Estate Trusts for Foreigners in Playa del Carmen

Foreigners can legally own real estate in Mexico’s restricted zones—including Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya—through a Mexican Property Trust (Fideicomiso).

A Fideicomiso is a legally binding trust agreement where a foreign buyer (the beneficiary) transfers property rights to a Mexican bank (the trustee). The bank holds the title and manages the property exclusively under the beneficiary’s instructions, ensuring full ownership control while complying with Mexican law.

This trust structure is required for foreigners purchasing property within 50 km of the coastline or 100 km of international borders—covering most of the Riviera Maya’s prime locations.

At Notary Public Office 104 in Playa del Carmen, our experienced team specializes in setting up real estate trusts for foreigners, offering:

• End-to-end legal compliance for your property purchase.
• Transparent trust setup with accredited Mexican banks.
• Renewable 50-year terms (with straightforward extensions).
