Why Folsom y Asociados, S.C.?
Our experience speaks for itself. In a time when truth seems irrelevant, we prove who we are. The former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, the American Bar Association Journal, the Colorado Lawyer, El Financiero, and La Atencion, from San Miguel de Allende. These prestigious references make it clear that Folsom y Asociados is the #1 choice.

Primary Areas of Practice
Real Estate
Protecting your assets when buying + selling.
There is a saying in Mexico that goes, “the Mexican legal system is the only working railroad system in the country”. In the Riviera Maya, people buy and sell land every day without understanding what's going on. Don’t be railroaded. Understand it.
Corporations
oPERATING a corporation in Mexico is different than in the U.S.
Corporations are expensive, require constant up-keep, and will subject you to lots of bureaucracy. Still, sometimes they are necessary, and even mandatory. Do not start one without fully understanding what you are doing.
Wills, trusts, and FideicomisoS
We've worked with Fideicomisos since 1994.
Owning assets in Mexico requires you to coordinate your U.S. will and trust with your Mexican will, fideicomiso and corporation. Our team has extensive experience in international estate planning to help you along the way.
PROBATE, LITIGATION, and RETIREMENT PLANNING
Keeping you informed.
Proper international estate planning will prevent your loved ones from finding themselves in Mexican litigation, where the laws can be so different from the U.S. that your assets ultimately do not end up with the person you intended.
