Assuming a fidecomiso

Arthur - 5-5-2005 at 10:11 AM

Does anyone know for sure whether you can assume another person's fidecomiso (in the process of buying a piece of property)? I have heard both sides from real-estate agents: You definitely can, and you definitely can't. Of course, an independent attorney would be part of any deal that I did, but I want to be as informed as I can be early on.

yes you can in most cases, but not always check with the notary in your aria. show him a copy of the F.C. also check with the trust bank.

Check the trust fee structure and then shop it. You may be able to save money on a new one.

Just did that last year. Expensive but doable.

what dose this mean?

"You can do it, but it costs."

The agent who's pushing that option insists that it's much cheaper than buying a new one. She claims to be the only agent in Baja (perhaps the known universe) who has done it. The question that remains, however, is what you do about the fact that there might not be so much time left on the one you're buying. Supposedly they're easy to renew for a second term, but I wonder about an assumed one. Sounds like fairly new territory.

Get another agent. It's done all the time.

who is this agent and wear are they you can save many other Nomads a lot of grief.

I agree with Dave if you have an agent that will flat out lie to you about this you better find some one else. bye ling it would stand to reason that they have something to hide and they suffer from a strong lac of integrate.

Let's wait a bit and see. I'm new to this, so maybe I misunderstood her. I'm not going to slam someone in public until I'm sure of what I'm doing -- and then I'll be happy to do it.

To assume someone elses fideicomiso wouldn't you still need to do the same steps as originating your own?:

-apply for the "foreign relations permit" in your name
- change the names on the trust
- change the beneficiaries on the trust
- add your purchase price

Then for the sale and title transfer have the seller get:
- a recent Avalou (property assessment)
- the "certificate of no leins"
- the "certificate of no taxes owed"
- proof that the water bill is paid

Pay the transfer tax.
Pay the notary and pay the bank?

I don't understand how assuming someone elses fideicomiso would be less expensive or a short cut :?:

Annual bank fees on some of the older trusts increase with age also, so if you took over the rate that the former owner was paying wouldn't you be starting higher than if you started from scratch?
