Thanks for the information re. constancias. We purchased a lot through an ejido in my wife's name and obtained the constancia which we have in a security box at our bank.

So what I read into your description of a Constancia is that it is an interim vehicle for ownership given to you by a Mexican national until the development is complete and the Ejido signs over the titles to the properties. Then would a foreigner be required to obtain a fidecomiso? I'm not clear about what happens when the Ejido finalizes the subdividing and all properties have been paid for in full, as I understand it (and I may be wrong) title to property in Mexico cannot be transferred until full payment is received. At this point does the Mexican national step aside and give title to the trustee so a Fidecomiso can be established with me?:?:

If someone even mentions

"presta-nombre" run like hell, do otherwise and you'll be giving a mexican a free house.:bounce:

What do we do if someone mentions "Bajajack"? Give us some more of your sage advice, seņor.

Isn't a "presta-nombre" illegal???

Osprey - 9-20-2008 at 06:24 PM

Kat, I'll leave that question for others. You really need to restate the question in a way directed toward civil law in Mexico, in the U.S., worldwide, etc. etc. you get the point. Just to finish my thoughts about Bajajack's remark -- he usually just spouts verbal redneck remarks like his signature. I might have missed some but it seemed to me that now he is going to tell us all about buying, holding, selling realty in Mexico. Can you feel the suspense building? kinda puts me on a fact finding vector: How much land to you have dominion over in Baja Jack? How did you come by the hard won immutable facts you are dying to give us about lots, land, hectares in Baja California?

Bajajack has given his opinion of the transaction and the "presta nombre", Osprey. Now instead of insulting him, why don't you prove how smart and knowledgable you are and tell all of us why he is wrong and precisely what the law is in this area?

Be specific. Tell us how the "presta nombre" would be enforceable in a Mexican court. Tell us what happens if the person who "presta-ed" his nombre drops dead and how you would enforce that on his heirs. Tell us how you can get a Mexican court to give an order granting you title in a property Mexican law says you cannot own if he refuses.

We're all ears.

Kinda quick on the trigger

there aren't you Ospray, or are you rootin for the crooked realtors.

Any honest Notario will tell you a contract like that isn't worth 2 pesos, any litigation between you and the Nombre will automatically be granted to the Nombre because he has a binding contract and you don't, he gets the property and you get zip, end of story.

Instead of crapping all over BajaJack, Lets look at the history of these transactions in Baja. They are only as strong as the economy is weak,its easy to explain.
If you buy from an Eijdo member and are waiting for the title to be sent to the member in question, you better pray that the land values do not go up and the greed of that member does not change in the meantime.
Nothing stops the member or the President of the Eijdo from blocking the sale if they think the member sold it for not the fair market value they determine or another member wants it for the same value you paid in which it will transfer to the other member of the Eijdo for the same value that you thought you paid for the land in question.
There is no protection whatever for this transaction.
Please see a real and competent mexican lawyer who you will give you the brass tacks on this deal.
It will be the best $300.00 DOLLARS you have ever spent.


That is the painful truth.
