Does anyone know how I might track public notices (edictos) in the La Paz or Mulege Newspapers or other sources? I have been online with
Sudcaliforniano and I cannot find a thread that takes me to that information.
I am curious because the Edjido in our area is attempting to illegally take property of those who leave in the summer claiming they have abandon their
properties. In order to proceed with legal action they must provide public notice to those they want evicted. They must do this three times. The
edicto is a proclamation and must be responded to within a certain timeframe so it is important to be vigilant and monitor these notices. So far they
have been using the La Paz and Mulege papers.
Our property in Posada Concepcion is under this attack by the Ejido as are several other beach communities in Bahia de Concepcion. We have
identified, through a friend, that at least one edicto was published in Sept. in La Paz. Fortunately it was found and responded to, but they can
continue this practice. They tried it last year also. Apparently there is an old Mexican law that allows them to take abandon property.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

My understanding is that property is considered abandoned when its owner leaves the country for a period of three months or more and is not properly
documented, i.e., possessing an FM-3 or better. But then again, I'm not an abogado, thank heavens.
