cyberjack Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) My wife and I did Mexican wills about 15 years ago when we bought our house. If we are both gone it all goes (mainly the house) to our nephews and nieces in Canada. The house title deed also names each other as beneficiaries with the niblings as backups. We would like to change the executor on the wills as times have changed and our nephew (in Canada) is old enough that we would like him to be executor. Does an entirely new will need to be drawn up or is it possible to simply do a codicil to the will to modify the executor. All other terms of the wills remain the same. Thanks. We'd like to get this dealt with in September. Thank you in advance. Edited September 27, 2021 by cyberjack Added time frame desired.

happyjillin Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would ask a question like this to your Mexican lawyer or the Notario that drew it up and you've left it kind of late for Sept. half price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Talk to whoever drew up your original will. But hurry if you want the Sept. discount!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 My understanding is that codicils are not written in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanie Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 True that there are no codicils in Mexico. Speak to a notario, not an attorney. There are plenty of really good notarios around. I personally respect and trust a notario in Chula Vista - Luis Enrique Ramos Bustillos - 376-76-60190. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yes go back to your Notaria and start by asking more questions about who get what if you or wife die. Also it's likely that the N&N will have to pay capital gains as neither are Perminate Residents. What you think you may have covered and what will actually happen maybe,could be, will be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 You need to tal to Notarios. I doubt if you will get an exact answer on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
