In Mexico, a notario público is a specially authorized legal professional who formalizes real estate transfers and verifies key elements of the transaction. The role is more extensive than that of a notary public in the United States or Canada.
The notary typically reviews title and certificates, calculates or coordinates taxes and fees, prepares the deed, verifies identities and authority, and registers the transfer with the Public Registry.
The notary's participation does not prevent a buyer from retaining independent counsel. A buyer's lawyer can review contracts, risks, due diligence, negotiations, and cross-border concerns specifically for the buyer.
Ask who selected the notary, what is included in the estimate, which documents remain outstanding, and what conditions must be satisfied before closing.
