The difference
100% buyer-side.We never represent the seller.
Nearly everyone you meet on the Mexican coast is paid by the seller — the agent, the developer's lawyer, the “recommended” closing service. Milele is retained by you, answers only to you, and has no listing to place. Our single job is making sure what you buy is legally, permanently yours.
U.S. Embassy-listed law firm
Correa Wilson & Company appears on the list of local attorneys published by the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico.
Real attorneys, not a referral desk
Founded and led by a licensed American-Mexican attorney. You work with the lawyers handling your file, in English or Spanish.
10+ years on the wrong end of it
A decade defending foreigners after a coastal purchase went wrong — that forensic scrutiny now runs before you sign.
Nothing informal, ever
SRE permit, public deed before a notary public, registry filing. Every step documented and verifiable — in your name.
The real risk
Nothing looks dangerous until the money is gone.
Foreign buyers rarely lose their savings to something exotic. They lose it to five very ordinary situations — and every one of them is visible in public records before you sign, if someone knows where to look.
Risk 01
Ejido land sold as private property
Communal farmland that can never be legally titled to a foreigner — often the cheapest “beachfront deal” on the market.
What Milele does
We trace the land's origin through the public and agrarian registries and tell you in writing whether it can ever legally be yours.
Risk 02
The same property sold twice
Two buyers, one deed — and a court case that outlives your patience and your budget.
What Milele does
We confirm current ownership and the seller's identity at the registry, then lock the transaction so nothing can be sold behind your back.
Risk 03
Deposits that disappear
Money wired to a “seller” with no right to sell, or to a personal account that closes the following week.
What Milele does
No funds move until title, ownership and identity are verified — and never into a personal account. Deposits are structured and conditioned.
Risk 04
Contracts you cannot read
Clauses in Spanish that waive penalties, move the delivery date or quietly shift every obligation onto you.
What Milele does
Bilingual attorneys read, translate and renegotiate every clause on your side of the table — before signature, not after.
Risk 05
Debts and permits found after closing
Liens, unpaid property tax, missing construction or environmental permits — all inherited by the new owner.
What Milele does
Certificates of no-lien, tax status and permits obtained in writing and handed to you as a documented due-diligence report.
Every one of these is preventable in the first two weeks. Preventing them is the entire product.

Owning on the coast, in plain English
Two legal ways for a foreigner to own beachfront.
Mexico's constitution keeps direct land title out of foreign hands inside the restricted zone — 50 km from any beach, 100 km from any border. Two structures get you there legally: a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. Which one is right depends on what you're buying and why.
Not sure which one fits? That is the first thing we settle — before anyone asks you for a deposit.
Option A in detail · The fideicomiso
Chose the bank trust? This is exactly how it holds your property — and how we set it up.
Who holds what
Full fideicomiso guide →Step 01
The seller
fideicomitente
Transfers the property into the trust at closing — in the same public deed as your purchase.
Step 02
The bank
fiduciario
Holds bare legal title as a neutral trustee. It cannot sell, rent, mortgage or occupy the property.
Step 03
You
fideicomisario
Live in it, rent it, remodel it, sell it, leave it to your heirs — every right of ownership is yours.
The bank holds bare title; you hold every ownership right. Your heirs are named in the deed itself, so the property passes directly to them — with no Mexican probate.
Three steps to set it up — all handled by us
01
Permit from the SRE
Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs authorizes the trust in your name. We file it.
02
Signed before a notary public
The trust becomes an escritura pública — a public deed, not a private agreement.
03
Registered with the RNIE
Filed with the National Registry of Foreign Investment. A corporation follows its own route — we handle that one too.
Our Services
Legal, real estate & concierge — under one roof.
Whether you're purchasing a home, securing an investment or building a villa, each service stands alone — or combines into full representation.

Where We Work
Any beach in Mexico. That's where we work.
Milele exists for one reason: to help foreign buyers safely acquire property on the beachfront, on the beach or near it — anywhere in Mexico. All coastal land sits in the restricted zone, so your purchase needs a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican company. We structure it, wherever your beach is. These are the markets we're asked about most:
Somewhere else on the coast? If it's on the beach — or near it — we handle it.
The founder
The lawyer foreigners call when a purchase has already gone wrong.
Milele exists so you never have to make that call.
U.S. Embassy-listed law firm. Correa Wilson & Company appears on the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico's public list of local attorneys.

You work directly with him and a personally selected team of attorneys, notary coordinators, architects and real-estate advisors. Never a call center.

Questions, Answered
Buying property in Mexico, made simple.
What can go wrong when buying beachfront property in Mexico?
More than most buyers ever imagine: ejido (communal) land that can never be legally titled, properties sold to two buyers at once, forged deeds, liens that surface after closing, and deposits wired to people who never owned the property. By the time it shows, the money is gone — Mexican courts rarely give it back. Every one of these is preventable, and preventing them is exactly what Milele’s due diligence does before you commit a single peso. See how our title review protects you →
Can foreigners legally buy beachfront property in Mexico?
Yes. Foreigners can own coastal property in Mexico through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. Milele structures either vehicle for you and verifies every legal detail before you sign.
What is a fideicomiso, and do I need one?
A fideicomiso is a renewable 50-year bank trust that gives foreign buyers full ownership rights — to sell, rent, remodel and inherit — within Mexico's restricted coastal zone. If your property sits within 50 km of the coast, you need one (or a Mexican corporation, for investment purposes). Learn how we set up your fideicomiso →
How is Milele different from an agency or a law firm?
Agencies represent sellers; law firms stop at paperwork. Milele works exclusively for buyers and covers the entire acquisition — search, negotiation, due diligence, trust setup, closing and beyond.
Can Milele work with my real estate agent?
Yes. We collaborate with agents, developers and sellers — while protecting your side of the transaction at every step.
Which areas of Mexico does Milele cover?
Anywhere on Mexico's coast — Cancún, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Yucatán, the Riviera Nayarit and any other beach destination. If the property is on or near the beach, it needs a fideicomiso or a Mexican company — and that is exactly what we do. We also handle transactions in Mexico City.
Can I rent out my property if I live abroad?
Yes. Many of our clients earn rental income from their vacation homes. We structure ownership and tax compliance so you can rent legally from day one.
Who is behind Milele, and how do I verify it?
Milele is a brand of Correa Wilson & Company, Law Firm, founded and led by Fernando S. Correa Wilson, an American-Mexican attorney. The firm appears on the list of local attorneys published by the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico — a public list you can consult yourself — and you can verify the practice directly at cwcabogados.com. Inclusion on that list is a public listing, not an endorsement by the U.S. government.
Do you ever represent sellers or developers?
Never. Milele is buyer-side only. We work alongside agents, sellers and developers when a transaction requires it, but we are not paid by them and we hold no listings — so no advice we give you is shaped by a commission on the other side.
