RocketPossum 4 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you own a house here, and leave it to a daughter living in the States, does that work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 5,369 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yes. Go see Luis Enrique the Notario in San Antonio. He is a real expert at handling this issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Of course it should be done via a Mexican will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WideSky 365 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Don't forget that the notarios have offered discounts in the fall for mexican wills. Can't remember what month though. Your deed should have a beneficiary on it but to make doubly sure put it in a MX will. I would doubt the enforceability of a non-MX will and even if it is would the time, effort & money be worth it to the beneficiary, who may know squat about the area or who to contact especially if they reside elsewhere (US/Canada/Europe/...).

Wookie 550 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 The discount month is September. Spencer is also very knowledgeable with Mexican law and Mexican wills. They are 1/2 price during the discount month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Intercasa 1,079 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 There is a better and cheaper way, there are many estate planning techniques that can save time and money. A consultation with a good estate planning attorney who is bilingual will saves you lots of $$$. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Intercasa 1,079 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yes I do this alot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aquaponicsman 190 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 It is important to do as Spencer suggested and he can explain the hierarchy of wills, i.e, your Canadian or US will compared to your Mexican will and the importance or relevance of each. There are lots of legal technicalities. Hence the need for a good lawyer. Spencer gets my vote not just for being a good lawyer and understanding all of these things, but for having integrity, as well. And, I am not just saying that because today is his birthday. But, Happy Birthday nonetheless, Spencer! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
