el problema, senor:

about ten years ago american owners of mexican real estate found out the hard way about mexican laws.

their sea front land was confiscated and returned to peasants.

si.

the verification of the history of the ownership of land is unproblemmatic. on the east coast you hire a lawyer to research the land. on the west coast you buy an insurance policy.

not so in mexico. there are no uniform procedures for verifying previous ownership. only corruption.

La Mordida Bump! If you've ever seen the way the Mexican system works, the official channels leaves much to be desired. Decent people get pulled into making payments under the table and they soon fall into it out of habit because it helps get things done faster. For some reason, a discreet envelope gets the Mexican bureaucracy's attention where going by the book doesn't.
