What is a Real Estate Trust?

A Real Estate Trust is the necessary vehicle for foreign individuals or companies to acquire real estate rights within Mexico's Restricted Zone (beaches and border areas). The Restricted Zone is the strip of land 100km wide along Mexico's borders and 50km wide along the shoreline. The Real Estate Trust allows you unrestricted use of such property for a period of 50 years (which may be extended for additional terms), as well as the right to sell or encumber the property. As the beneficiary of the Trust you retain all the rights to use and enjoy the property. The Bank acts as your Trustee, holding title to the property per your instructions.
