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.

  • Thank you, Janet, for helping us out on the purchase of our condo. Without your help and guidance the process would have been much more difficult. I hope to do business with you in the future.
    — Jim Guinn, Oklahoma
  • Jan took our land purchase from disaster to dream. We have recommended her to multiple friends and would not make a real estate move in the Yucatan without her.
    — Dave Rosenberg, Colorado
  • We only wish we had consulted Jan Folsom sooner. Her advice enabled us to save a significant amount of money. If we had consulted her sooner, we also would have saved substantial mental anguish. We could not recommend anyone more highly.
    — Bob Villiar, Pennsylvania
  • Jan was my Attorney who handled the closing of the sale of one of my properties in Mexico. Very important to me because I don’t speak Spanish and live in the United States, 2000 miles from Mexico. She was professional in all of my interactions with her. I trust her completely and will use her again for my other Mexican Properties.
    — Tom Frazee, Minnesota
