Before you sign anything,talk to a real attorney.
Baja Property Insider does not provide legal advice. We make it easy to reach Gerardo Sánchez Aramburu — an independent Mexican attorney who works directly with foreign buyers and property owners — for a private 30-minute consultation.
Baja Property Insider
An independent education and advisory platform. We help you understand the landscape, recognize where risk arises, and see your situation clearly. We do not practice law and we do not sell property.
Independent counsel
A licensed Mexican attorney who can interpret documents, advise on your legal position, structure protections, and represent your interests. This is the only role that can give legal advice.
The notario público
A state-appointed public official who formalizes and records the transaction. The notario serves the legality of the instrument — not you personally, and not the other party.
Not every situation requires an attorney. These, generally, do.
A document must be interpreted
A contract, trust instrument, deed, or agreement whose meaning and consequences need to be assessed rather than summarized.
Money is about to move
Deposits, escrow arrangements, and payment terms carry legal consequence the moment they are executed.
The chain of ownership is unclear
Questions about how title arrived where it is, and whether it can move cleanly to you.
Something has gone wrong
A dispute, an unmet obligation, a defect, or a party who has stopped performing.
Ownership must outlive you
Succession, inheritance, and estate arrangements are legal instruments, not administrative forms.
You need someone on your side
Representation is a defined legal relationship. It is not the same as helpful advice from a participant in the transaction.
How ownership passes matters as much as how it began.
Succession is one of the most commonly deferred questions in Baja — and one of the most expensive to leave unresolved. It sits at the intersection of advisory planning and legal instrument.
