Mexico City-Based Tax Partner Fernando Camarena Talks Property Ownership in Mexico
Gardere’s Fernando Camarena Cardona, a partner with the firm’s tax practice group, spoke with Mansion Global on the tax considerations U.S. citizens must keep in mind before buying a home in Mexico.
“Property located in a restricted area, such as border areas or the coastline, must be acquired through a bank trust,” Camarena said. “The bank acts as trustee and holds titles to the property while the purchaser is the beneficiary of the trust.”
