Sounds like you need more than just a lawyer. I would contact these folks....they are expat real estate agents in Rosarito that have been in the
business a long time and can probably answer your questions and help steer you in the right direction:

I can recommend this attorney without any reservations. His main office is in Tijuana but also has offices in San Diego and Los Angeles. He's licensed
to practice law in California, New York, and Mexico. He's Mexican and speaks perfect English. A very impressive individual. He'll do it right.
He also has a wide circle of lawyer friends in TJ he can recommend if you find his rates too high.
At least arrange a consultation in his San Diego office.

P.S. Read about fideicomisos. It's the contractual method for buying property in the restricted zone, which includes almost all of the Baja peninsula.

A notary will have drafts for contracts. I agree with other posters though, that you need a help with general info on the subject. Read "Essential
Info" on the page of Bajarealestategroup. They still use outdated terms for residency visas, it's called FMRT and FMRP now.

In Mexico there are attorneys that are approved and appointed by the government to handle land transactions. They are called "Notarios" similar to the
English word notary but their function is quite different. There is no equivalent attorney in the US. To do any land transaction in Mexico you have to
go through a Notario. When I did my fideocomiso I used Angel Saad in Ensenada, notario #4. I didn't find it necessary to hire another attorney. Good
luck with your purchase.
