How the Bank Trust Protects You
Under Mexican law, foreign buyers acquire residential property within 50 kilometers of the coast through a secure, renewable bank trust. The bank holds the deed, while you retain all ownership rights, equity, and inheritance control.
This structure guarantees absolute legal protection, allowing you to buy, sell, or lease your Cabo Corridor villa exactly like a domestic owner.
