Your interests in Mexico, taken care of while you live in Dubai
Many of our clients in Dubai are foreigners or Mexicans looking to purchase property on the Mexican coast. Within the restricted zone—the first 50 kilometers of coastline—the law prohibits direct foreign ownership. Purchases must be made through a trust held in a Mexican bank or through a Mexican company, in accordance with the Foreign Investment Law. We review the title, the method of acquisition, and the contract before you sign or transfer any funds.
Others seek our assistance with divorces, inheritances, business matters, or powers of attorney in Mexico without having to travel abroad. With a power of attorney granted before a Mexican consulate or duly apostilled, we represent you in Mexico, coordinate the documentation issued in the Emirates with its official translation, and keep you informed while respecting the time difference.
- ✓ Representation in Mexico through consular power of attorney or apostille
- ✓ Secure property purchase via trust or Mexican company
- ✓ Bilingual support and coordination designed to fit your schedule
- ✓ Documents from the Emirates apostilled and translated for Mexico

What clients ask most
Can you assist me if I live in Dubai and cannot travel to Mexico?+
Yes. We work with clients who regularly operate remotely. With a power of attorney granted before the Mexican consulate or an apostilled power of attorney, we represent you in Mexico and keep you informed via video call and email, respecting the time difference.
Can a foreigner buy property on the Mexican coast from Dubai?+
Yes, although in the restricted zone the law does not allow direct purchase. It is done through a trust in a Mexican bank or through a Mexican company. Before signing, we review the property title, the legal status of the property, and the terms of the contract.
How can I validate documents I issue in the Emirates in Mexico?+
Foreign documents generally require an apostille or legalization and a certified translation into Spanish. We'll tell you which document you need, how to obtain the apostille, and we'll coordinate the official translation so it's valid with Mexican authorities.
Can you assist me in English?+
Yes. We offer bilingual support in Spanish and English, both for consultations and for reviewing contracts and documents. We aim to ensure you understand every step of the process without language barriers.
