Purchasing Tulum real estate

For foreigners, buying Mexican property, Puerto Aventuras real estate can be a slow endeavor, but it helps to know who the key players are, namely, the notary public. During the purchase of your Tulum real estate, you will come into frequent contact with a notary, who is responsible for preparing the deed and assuring that permits and other documents are legal and in proper order for the transaction. Next to your relationship with a reputable attorney, your notary public is your most important ally. He or she can help you sort out what to do with various documents so that your sale goes smoothly.

Set aside whatever you know about notary publics in the United States or the United Kingdom; those rules do not apply to the Mexican notary public you will deal with in the purchase of Tulum real estate. Unlike his or her American counterpart, the Mexican notary must receive an appointment to the position from the State Governor (in the case of realestate in Tulum, Mexico, a notary appointed by the Governor of Quintana Roo would be your contact).

The Mexican notary is a highly educated and skilled practitioner who is responsible for authenticating, witnessing and certifying vital documentation for business purposes. The government takes this responsibility very seriously, and the requirements for holding the position reflect this attitude. A notary must be at least 35 years old, hold a law degree and must have three years' experience in a notary office. Even after all that, any individual seeking a notary position must finally pass a difficult exam to be considered.

For anyone with limited experience in Mexican land purchases, the thought of trying to identify a knowledgeable attorney and notary can be daunting.
