READ "BUYING MEXICAN REAL ESTATE: LEGAL BASICS"

MexicanRealEstateBankTrusts are quite similar to a trust in the United States
where the trustee is a bank.

For over 35 years these trusts have proved themselves a secure ownership mechanism for the more than 1.5 million Americans, Canadians, and Europeans who are now enjoying the lifestyle and financial benefits of Mexican real estate ownership.

Mexican real estate bank trusts are really not much different than a mortgage in the United States, Canada, or Europe -- where only a small percentage of homeowners have clear title to their homes -- and where the lender, usually a bank, remains the title holder of a home. With a Mexican real estate bank trust your property is not part of the bank's assets and cannot be attached to bank obligations. Contrary to an outdated misconception, Mexican real estate bank trusts are not leases, and they confer on the trust-holder the same rights that "ownership" does in the United States, Canada, or Europe.
