I read that this morning, the realtors pushing ampi, come on pay the notario and get it done right.
a friend agrees " even with a trust, one has to perform due diligence, (find out if there is litigation, past, pending, ongoing, probate, boundary conflicts with ejidos, maritime federal zone issues such as a concession, liens, etc.
A Trustee should not transfer a property with issues, such as liens, litigation, etc, the property has to be free and clear from any limitation, free of any encumbrances. I have known many properties under a trust, change hands via private agreements, where the original or a successive Trust Beneficiary decided to bridge the terms of the trust and to avoid capital gains somehow persuades ,a bona fide buyer or someone trying to avoid paying attorney and notary fees and recording costs, etc, thus they keep transferring (private agreement to assign the property rights) the property from to another buyer, until someone comes along and decides to do things the right and legal way and finds all the garbage under the carpet , (which may explode underneath him when it blows up with him over it or is discovered during the due diligence process).
Concerning your question: "If someone buys now and gets a trust or signs on to an existing one does that protect them is the question I have been asked", it would depend on a doing the right thing, the due diligence and a new trusts would provide 50 years to use and enjoy the property, renewable, or someone buying a property under a preexisting trust from a trust beneficiary would continue with the remaining time left on the fideicomiso and that buyer, now known as Fideicomisario would see the new trust recorded with the Bank’s name as Trustee and his name as Trust Beneficiary (Fideicomisario) with all the protection from the law.
