There are profound differences between a Notary public in the US and the Notario Publico in Mexico<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 In the US, the public Notary might be a bank clerk, secretary at the office, or practice any other occupation.\u00c2\u00a0 In Mexico real estate<\/a>, the Notario Publico must have a law degree, verifiable experience, pass a rigorous exam and is appointed for a lifetime term by the governor of the state.\u00c2\u00a0 Typically there is a Notario Publico for approximately every 30,000 in population.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Mexico, all legal documents, such as deeds, wills, powers of attorney, constitution of corporations, establishment of trusts and other legal transactions must be made before a notary public in order to be valid. If the document is not notarized by a Mexican notary public<\/a> it is not legal! You should think of the Notario Publico here along the same lines as a Judge in the United States.\u00c2\u00a0 As part of the closing process, the Notario Publico will verify the following official documents, which are required by law for any transfer: A no-lien certificate from the public property registry, based on a complete title search; A statement from the treasury or municipality regarding property assessments, water bills and other pertinent taxes that\u00c2\u00a0might be due; An appraisal of the property for tax purposes.\u00c2\u00a0 The Notario Publico is also authorized to calculate and collect any Mexico Capital Gains taxes<\/a> generated by the sale.\u00c2\u00a0 The Notario Publico also is in charge of registering your new deed with the public registry, and issuing a preventative notice of the sale with the Registry.\u00c2\u00a0 It is important to remember that the Notario Publico is an independent third party to your transaction.\u00c2\u00a0 He will not be able to advise you on details in your contract such as: price, location, financing, and terms of sale.\u00c2\u00a0 For that reason, I hope you have already sought the advice and counsel of a TOP Mexico Realtor<\/a>, who can act as your advocate.\u00c2\u00a0 Many\u00c2\u00a0TOP Mexico\u00c2\u00a0Realtors have formed strategic alliances with a Notario Publico liaison.\u00c2\u00a0 These bilingual attorneys can assist with many of the above tasks at no additional expense to the buyer.\u00c2\u00a0 Best of all, they live or die by the concept of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Customer Service\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, making them an invaluable part of your closing process!
