Title Deeds & Regularization

Choose your case

You bought and never got a deed

If the seller can be located and is willing to sign, the sale is formalized before a notary. If not, we guide you through the appropriate court route, such as adverse possession.

In your case we will

  1. Review the contract and the registry status
  2. Locate the seller and coordinate the signing
  3. Deed and register in the Public Registry
Ask about deeds

Your lot is of ejido origin

Ejido land cannot be deeded directly. For a parcel, full ownership (dominio pleno) must be obtained first; for an urban lot (solar), the starting point is the title issued by the RAN.

In your case we will

  1. Review the parcel certificate or record
  2. Obtain full ownership or the lot title through the assembly and the RAN
  3. Deed and register the private property

The deed contains errors

An error in a name, area or boundaries can stall a sale or an inheritance. It is corrected through a rectification.

In your case we will

  1. Identify the error and its origin
  2. Rectify before a notary or a judge
  3. Register the correction in the Public Registry
Discuss my case

In Mexico, the escritura pública —the notarized title deed, registered with the Public Registry of Property— is the document that proves who owns a property. Without it, or with a deed still in someone else's name, the property cannot be safely sold, inherited or defended. We regularize and deed properties for clients in Mexico and in the United States: from the house bought years ago with a private contract to the family home that was never transferred, choosing the right route so the property ends up in your name.

When this applies

  • Your property in Mexico has no deed, or all you have is a private purchase contract.
  • You inherited a house in Mexico and the deed is still in the deceased relative's name.
  • The deed has errors, or the property is still in the name of a relative or the previous owner.
  • You live in the U.S. and want to sell or put in order a property you own in Mexico.

The process, step by step

  1. Consultation & document review

    We analyze whatever documents you have —contracts, receipts, old deeds— and the property's status at the Public Registry.

  2. Regularization route

    We define the correct path for your case, which may be notarial or judicial depending on how the property was acquired.

  3. Processing & coordination

    We handle the proceeding, the coordination with the notary and the filings before the Public Registry.

  4. Registered deed

    The process ends when the deed is signed and registered — the property, in your name and in good legal standing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to deed a property in Mexico?

It depends on the property's value, the state where it is located and the notary fees and taxes that apply to your transaction; there is no single figure. In the consultation we review your case and give you a clear estimate before starting.

Can I sell an inherited house that has no deed?

Not safely: the succession has to be processed first so the property is deeded in the heirs' names, and then it can be sold. Trying to sell it before that usually stalls the deal or lowers the price.

Can I handle this from the United States?

In most cases, yes. We work remotely with clients in the U.S. and tell you in the consultation exactly which documents are needed and which steps, if any, require someone to act on your behalf in Mexico.

What if all I have is a private contract?

It is a very common and fixable situation. Depending on the case, the property can sometimes be deeded directly before a notary; other times a court proceeding is needed to consolidate ownership first. The first step is reviewing your contract and the property's registry status.
