THE PURCHASE OF MEXICAN RESIDENTIAL RESORT PROPERTY
AT PUERTO SALINA * LA MARINA * by FOREIGNERS

The reality of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has created a positive atmosphere for investment opportunities in Mexico by foreign buyers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the regulations allowing Americans to own coastal residential property due to changes in Mexican foreign development policies and enactment of new laws.

In 1971, the trust system was development by the Mexican government which mandated that title on this type of property was not conveyed by the seller (Trust) to a foreign buyer (Beneficiary or Trusteeship), but that title was to be held in trust by a Mexican bank (Fiduciary) acting as trustee. The buyer had full rights to use and enjoy the property just the same as if were in fee simple ownership. The bank could not sell it without the consent and authorization of the Beneficiary, who retained control and could use, ease, improve or sell the property, could transfer rights or pass the ownership along to children or other named heirs.

Original Trusts were for 10 years, and in 1973 were extended to 30 years. In 1989 the government added regulations allowing foreign investors to renew the Trust for successive 30 year periods. Finally, as of January 1, 1994, the laws were again altered to create a 50 year renewable trust, incorporating all of the aforementioned rights, secured by the Central Bank of Mexico and transferable according to the Buyer's

At Puerto Salina *La Marina* a buyer is assisted with the necessary paperwork involved, including completion of forms to obtain a permit for the Trust from the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, having the Deed drawn up by a Notary and registering the Trust with the National Registry for Foreign investment. The purchase price, which is usually the same as the declared property value, sets the basis for any related taxes and fees. The seller generally pays for real estate fees and the buyer pays for transfer tax, the cost of the Bank Trust, notary fees, registration fees, tax appraisal fees and Trust permit fees.

In summary, Americans wishing to invest in resort property along the beautiful Mexican coastline can now enjoy all the benefits of ownership through the Bank Trust (Trusteeship) system without worry that their investment will be sold or altered in any way. Buyers are guaranteed the opportunity to exercise total control over their choices to renew the Trust every 50 years, sell the property and/or pass it along to their heirs.
