Relocation & Residency Concierge

Residency, RFC/CURP, fideicomiso review, power of attorney, and a Mexican will — sequenced and managed from abroad when needed.

A relocation done in the right order rarely produces disputes — that's the point of the sequence. We handle the full legal setup for foreign buyers moving to Mexico: residency status, tax and national ID registration, a review of your existing fideicomiso, a properly executed power of attorney, and a Mexican will — coordinated from abroad via POA when you can't be here in person for every step.

What's included

Everything you get when we represent you on this matter.

01

Residency status review

Assessment of your current immigration status and the fastest compliant path to temporary or permanent residency.

02

RFC & CURP

Mexican tax ID and national ID registration — the keys to banking, contracts, and utilities.

03

Fideicomiso review

Audit of your bank trust deed and beneficiary designations if you already own restricted-zone property.

04

Power of attorney

Properly executed POA so counsel can act on your behalf while you're still abroad.

05

Mexican will

A will drafted under Mexican law, coordinated with your home-country estate plan.

Our process

Negotiation → conciliation → litigation.

    Assessment of your immigration status, income sources, property plans, and family situation.

  2. Sequence map

    A two-page roadmap with dates — what happens in what order, and why.

  3. Consular & INM execution

    Consulate application, canje at the INM, and RFC/CURP procedures handled or coordinated on your behalf.

  4. POA & will

    Power of attorney and Mexican will executed before a notary.

  5. Final file

    Complete file delivered — your relocation, documented.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers commonly ask.

Can I buy property in Mexico on a tourist permit?

Yes — property ownership doesn't depend on immigration status, and the fideicomiso handles the restricted zone. But your tax position, banking, and the practical mechanics of closing all improve dramatically with residency and an RFC, which is why sequence matters.

Do I automatically become a Mexican tax resident when I move?

Not automatically. Tax residency follows rules about your center of vital interests and time in country, and the answer shapes both countries' filings. It deserves a real analysis before you move, not a discovery during an audit.

Can PeninsuLawyers run the process while I'm still abroad?

Most of it, yes. With a properly executed power of attorney we can manage the property, notarial, and preparatory steps before you land, and coordinate the consular and INM stages that require you personally.
