Santader trust benificiary modification
4 months, 6 separate trips, and after about $6K, me and my brothers signed the "book" @ Notario #4 in Ensenada for a trust beneficiary modification.
Bank required translator to be present and we all had to present visas and passports.
Uh...., next step is my death certificate
5:00 somewhere, peace

Are you talking about transferring a fideicomiso to a new individual? What kind of visa were you required to have?

No rush on that Death Cert.

I'm going to guess just a name change on the beneficiary (in case of the fidi holder's death) and not a full transfer.
It's worth the effort to get it right as a neighbor of mine has spent at least 5 years, countless hours and thousands of dollars to attempt to correct
an incorrect beneficiary statement on his late brother's fidi.

Pesos or dollars?

YES, all that for a beneficiary name change.
It was $USD too.
Being in the Ensenada Notario office with all the record books stacked up everywhere was a sight I wont forget.
Seeing our original 1987 and 2004 trusts recorded in their books was amazing and gave me faith in the fideocomiso process.
We took photos of the book and wrote down the book# and page #'s.
5 day visa ($29USD) was all that was required. Purchased at immigration post in the Port captains office, real easy.
Visa storytime:
If a foreign citizen serves as the translator and ins't getting a visa, the immigration officer will challenge that person for their visa. The two
Canadian persons in front of us was in this situation, their process took 20 minutes, their translator couldn't show his visa, quite the bureaucratic
show as only Mexico can do (rustling papers in their face, death stares, when he stamped their visas, he made them all jump, Ole) Our translator had
her visa and the officer had us completed in 5 minutes with lots of gusto, much better show.
Moral of story, a VISA goes a long way and works in many different ways when dealing with any level of the Mexican govt. They like their laws
respected and they in turn will reciprocate the effort .

Sometimes it pays to follow the rules - and to know them.
Having FMM - if this is what you're calling a visa - is mandatory for any tourist.

I have a Fido, which needs a modification. One of my kids was left off of the Fido as a beneficiary. I would like to have all four on it. Are all
modifications to Fidos a major process? Any others out there gone through Fido modifications? Sure would like to hear how the process went for you.
thanks Brian

From 10,000 ft.
It all starts with your trust, the bank and the trust office in the bank.
1st, They will want money to read it, so they can write the proper beneficiary modifications. (suggestion, none of the kids spouses as
co-beneficiaries, a single divorce blows the whole thing up for all the kids)
Next is the Publico Notario, pick your poison; TJ #6 or Ensenada #4, find a person to work with there.
Hard part:
Keep waving money at both ends of a mexican process and it will eventually come together.
Be patient and kind.
BTW: a completely new trust with mexican capital gain taxes for the sale at the current valuation would have been $70k.
Then there is the IRS

We did the beneficiary name change using an attorney out of San Diego. Expensive ($6 or $7K, can't remember) Seemed like a lot of $ but needed to be
done.
