Inside the Briefing

What You'll Walk Away With

The Ejido Land Trap

Why jungle lots at "below-market prices" with "cession of rights" documents are legally void — and how to verify true private property status before paying a cent.

Pre-Construction Contract Traps

The hidden clauses developers bury in the Promesa de Compraventa — one-sided penalty structures, vague delivery dates, and fabricated "Force Majeure" notices.

Environmental Permit Risks

How PROFEPA and the National Guard are shutting down coastal developments lacking proper MIA authorizations — and why a municipal building permit is not enough.

The Fideicomiso & RFC Explained

A plain-language breakdown of how foreigners legally own coastal property through bank trusts, and the mandatory 2026 Mexican Tax ID requirements you can't skip.

Cross-Border Tax Architecture

Capital gains tax (ISR), the critical role of facturas, and how U.S./Canadian buyers use Foreign Tax Credits and FBAR/FATCA compliance to avoid double taxation.

Fighting Back: Dispute Resolution

If you're already trapped — delayed delivery, frozen capital, hidden defects — the specific legal strategies to force developers to the negotiating table before trial.

Is This For You?

This Briefing Was Built For

Foreign buyers actively looking at properties in the Riviera Maya, Mérida, or the Yucatán Peninsula who haven't signed yet.
Investors who already bought pre-construction and are facing delays, quality issues, or suspect their contract is one-sided.
Retirees and lifestyle buyers planning to relocate who want to understand the legal landscape before committing capital.
High-net-worth individuals exploring beachfront or commercial real estate who need independent legal counsel — not a developer's referral.
Anyone who has been told "just use the Notary" or "the closing coordinator handles everything" and wants the truth.

Founding Partner — PeninsuLawyers

Mexican real estate attorney based in Mérida, Yucatán. Former Legal Director at SIMCA, one of the region's largest developers — an experience that revealed, from the inside, how legal teams are deployed to delay, dismiss, and systematically disadvantage foreign buyers. He left to build PeninsuLawyers: the independent, buyer-only firm the Riviera Maya didn't have.

"We don't sell real estate. We don't take kickbacks from developers. Our fiduciary duty is 100% to you, the buyer. If a deal is toxic, we will tell you to walk away."
