MEXICO DREAMING”. - Thursday, April 7th, 2005

Back in 1996, Huey Rodeheaver of St. Louis, Missouri, bumped north from the Mexican resort town of Ixtapa in a rented jeep, searching for “pretty beachfront.” He was preparing to sell his telecommunications company for a tidy sum, and wanted a second home to retire to. Puerto Vallarta was too big; Cancún, too young.

TAKING CONTROL OF TRUST FEES”. - Monday, April 1st, 2002

Over the years I have been contacted by many foreigners who are frustrated with the fees they have to pay to the bank acting as their trustee. Unfortunately, upon reviewing their trust agreements (escrituras) I have to inform them that when their trust was set up they agreed to pay the fees the bank charges and also authorized the bank to be able to unilaterally modify these fees.

CAN I BUY EJIDO LAND?”. - Friday, March 1st, 2002

A very large part of Mexican real estate is classified as ejido land. Ejido land is not private property and cannot be bought and sold as if it were. However, since the constitutional reforms of 1992 ejido land now can be converted into private property and sold to third parties, including foreigners. The present article will briefly describe what an ejido is and how ejido land is classified as well as talk about the ways in which ejido land can be converted into private property.

IMPOVERISHED MEXICAN VILLAGE STRIKES PAYDIRT IN THE SAND”. - Thursday, January 6th, 2000

TRONCONES, Mexico — Former Alaska fisherman Dewey McMillin has done something unique in the world of Mexican beachfront development. He’s made everyone happy.
Mr. McMillin, the first foreigner to settle in this sleepy village in Guerrero state, led local inhabitants through the red tape of getting proper title to their collectively held land, helped them parcel it among themselves, and then spearheaded a sales campaign to draw in wealthy foreigners.
