real estate & foreign investment practice

At Ojeda y Caro Abogados, we provide comprehensive legal services in real estate law and investment structuring. Our practice is designed for a wide range of clients—foreign individuals, international corporations, and Mexican investors or developers—who require more than a transactional approach.

​

Unlike brokers or traditional real estate attorneys whose role often ends with a sale or contract, our work goes further. We integrate real estate law with corporate, immigration, tax, notarial, environmental, commercial, and energy regulation to provide a strategic, preventive, and long-term legal solution.

​

Our objective is simple: to minimize risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect our clients’ investments, while also opening opportunities for residency, business expansion, and infrastructure development in Mexico.

Legal Due Diligence & Title Verification

We ensure every acquisition is supported by full legal certainty:

  • Verification of valid public deed registered in the Public Registry of Property.

  • Confirmation of ownership capacity of the seller.

  • Review of liens, unpaid taxes, encumbrances, and legal notices.

  • Property review before federal, state, and municipal agencies.

Notarial Procedures

We coordinate all notarial acts required to formalize transactions:

  • Drafting and review of acquisition agreements.

  • Coordination of closing before a Notary Public.

  • Issuance of certified deeds and required certifications.

  • Compliance with obligations for foreign buyers (e.g., trust structures in restricted zones).

Appraisals & Certifications

We secure real estate appraisals and certifications required for both notarial closings and tax purposes, ensuring valuation accuracy and regulatory compliance.
