You need to obtain a Fideicomiso Mexican Property Trust.
A permit issued to a bank authorizes them as a trustee to purchase a property using a Fideicomiso (Mexican Property Trust), where the foreign purchaser is the sole beneficiary. The real estate asset is owned by the Trust, not the bank, and the beneficiary has the right to direct the Trustee for the development, use and sale of the asset in the Trust. The initial term of a Fideicomiso is 50 years with renewal in increments of 50 years, indefinitely.
The beneficiary of the trust can be an individual, partners, trust or foreign corporation. Forming a Mexican Property Trust will take up to 60 days and is the specialty of many law firms with expertise in this area. Reputable real estate firms and banks in Mexico will understand how to guide you in getting a Fideicomiso Mexican Property Trust.
It is recommended that you purchase Title Insurance for all real estate transactions. Clear title is key to managing the risk with any purchase of property and can only be guaranteed with proper title searches by either a Mexican or U.S.A. title company.
