Mexican Fideicomisos Are Not Considered Trusts by the IRS!

Important news for U.S. Citizens who own property in Mexico via Fideicomiso!
For those of you who follow the blog, you know that the IRS requires U.S. citizens to file a report that discloses all trusts worldwide.


U.S. Accountants have admitted in the past that the language was a bit gray where fideicomisos were concerned, but most recommended that you file the disclosures as non-disclosures carried hefty fines.

Well --- Are you ready for this?? The IRS actually came out and said that you can file LESS paperwork. They have acknowledged that the fideicomiso is not a trust in a traditional sense and is therefore exempted from the required disclosure filings.

Less Paperwork. Yippee!

See the IRS announcement: Revenue Ruling 2013-14 here.

Rained Cats, Dogs, & Crocs in Puerto Morelos!

I am back from a quick vacation today, and boy did I pick the right time to get out of Dodge! Rain POURED down here in Puerto Morelos while I was away.

If you haven't heard/seen, here are a few pics/facts to get you up to speed:

We basically received 35% of our expected total annual rainfall in a three day weekend + plus it rained some more.


Prior to the rainstorms, the mangrove was getting pretty darn dry. So dry, in fact, that you could see the crocodile tail tracks baked into the mud. Afterward, they are happy and wet again. Our fav Puerto Morelos photographer, Michael Maurus, was able to capture some great shots!

We got just a weeee bit of lightening!

Lots of us (including our Mayan Riviera Properties Office) lost power, phone lines, and internet. However, everything has been restored!


The flood waters got a bit high in places ;)
