There would not be any kind of disagreement or any obstacle for buying property in Mexico.sonora homeshttp://lagunashoresresort.com/custom-homes-salenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805289.post-2196158575819279012010-11-26T00:31:09.567-06:002010-11-26T00:31:09.567-06:00The problems at Tenacatita are still unresolved. ...The problems at Tenacatita are still unresolved. Many people had homes and businesses that were looted, damaged and destroyed. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine who did it since the State Police and the private security forces of Villalobos were both there and all wore shirts that identified them as State police. Neither Villalobos nor the Governor will accept any responsibility for wrongdoing. Keep in mind that all of this occurred in the middle of the night and no eviction papers were presented. Elderly people and children were not spared. <br /><br />The court has ruled that Villalobos owns 42 acres but he has taken much more than that. He has blocked a road built by the government and denied people access to a Federal beach. Seems to me that the only thing that worries most people is property ownership. What about human rights? The Meican govt. doesn't give a damn about its people. The only thing that matters is money - and thats a crime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805289.post-7834585214146508092010-09-04T17:47:49.299-05:002010-09-04T17:47:49.299-05:00The titles sold at Tenacatita were "validated...The titles sold at Tenacatita were "validated" by presidents of Mexico. It's part of their jobs.<br /><br />Title insurance is an interesting topic. I've been told by some in the real estate industry that it has certain restrictions and won't always cover challenges to the deed from periods beyond 10 years ago. Of course, real estate agents sometimes have other motives for not recommending title insurance.<br /><br />Ejido land is a risky prospect, but in places such as La Manzanilla, I'm told that issues with the ejido have been minimal and have always been resolved.David Agrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097807992492137721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805289.post-13301493161792766072010-09-03T02:28:43.164-05:002010-09-03T02:28:43.164-05:00Mr. Bodwell, I laughed when reading about titles b...Mr. Bodwell, I laughed when reading about titles being "validated" by presidents of Mexico. I doubt presidents are in the business of validating titles as that job belongs to lawyers and notaries. More likely the "validations" were forged by unscrupulous vendors. If you buy property in Mexico without using legal resources, you are a fool. I think it probable that Barbara Hancock, with title in a bank trust which surely involved a notario and abogado, may be safe and have no need to feel unsure.Bill Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805289.post-51666755597840112182010-08-30T14:17:28.009-05:002010-08-30T14:17:28.009-05:00This whole thing just verifies what I have been te...This whole thing just verifies what I have been telling foreigners buying property in México for years.<br /><br />IF there is ANY mention of "ejido" in the title of a property or even in the general scuttlebutt about the property…WALK AWAY!

I own "land" in Mexico and I purchased insurance because of what I might not know. While I'm sympathetic, I'm not because they tried to take shortcuts or save a little.dwilson540https://www.blogger.com/profile/00007380872027507044noreply@blogger.com
