I'm not sure this is the correct way to do this but here is what I did. Went to the notary with a copy of my fideocomiso and made a mexican will with
the change of benificiary and some specific instructions for other items.

If this can be effected by not having to rewrite the Fideicomiso, great! Notarios Publicos are real estate lawyers. it is a high, appointed position.
They bear responsibility for their work. So, does this Mexican Will attach to the Fedeicomiso as an amendment?

Cost about $100us. I'm not sure if any of the fedios go to Mexico unless you pay extra. I have copies of my will with the beneficiary and some close
friends so there shouldn't be a problem. Especially if you use the same notary as the fedio.
toneart, I don't remember if it is attached to it. I don't think so. But all the document numbers are included in the will.

I have a friend in La Paz who just changed names on hers (was joint but her partner died), and changed beneficiaries at the same time. it was a very
complicated procedure involving the bank holding the fido and notaries and translators and multiple trips to various agencies over a period of many
months. I will email her, ask for the details and get back to the forum. sanfelipebob if you will U2U me I will ask her permission to give you her
email address and you could correspond directly.

Alas, in Mexico it is usually complicated and to what degree depends on who is doing the work and where. At that, there is probably no legal standard
that is universally applied. It almost always takes more time than seems reasonable. Time=money.
Gringo=more money.

I would bet the bank.....that the bank will want a fee for changing your original. I have heard this for other reasons; if the document has to be
changed a fee will probably be charged.
That is why it is so important that you make sure it is correct when you sign it!
According to the GG...this is National Will Month in Mexico.
I asked our notary and he didnt really give me a definite answer about the cost but I am making an appointment with him to discuss if we need one as
we own no property in the USA and all of our Mexican holdings are in both of our names.

I’d say the bank too. I'd contact the fiduciary manager at your fide bank. One of our fides states that the bank will charge $3000 pesos for “any
changes made to the original document such as changes in beneficiary names".

okay, friend wrote back, said it cost her 'more than $1000' because she was
'changing the whole thing.' and guesses maybe it would be less if you were just chaning beneficiaries. sorry no definitive answer. I know it took
her more about six months, though part of that was the woman at the bank took a vacation and Pat, friend, went to the states for a month. at any
rate, a long time. she suggests checking with your bank for a definitive answer. sorry not to be of more help.

The Fideiocomiso is viewed as a single document in its entirety...a change to any part of that is a change to the entire document as
a whole & as such, hefty fees are charged. Actual amount will vary from Notario to Notario.
Oladulce, that's just the BANK'S fees....the NOTARIO will charge their own fees & they're substantially higher!
Judy, a one-person will in La Paz is around $200 (equivalent USD); two wills or a two-person will be more!

OK, does the will supersede the unchanged Fideicomiso which has a different beneficiary? I can see all kinds of problems. What if one heir has the
will and another the Fide.? What if one judge would rule one way and another judge rule the other way? I think the two instruments could conflict.
Maybe the law is clear on the subject and applied uniformly. How does one know for sure?

I will ask when I talk to the notary next week if they should agree. Simple logic says yes.
