Viceroy FAQs

Ownership & Legal

Is this a timeshare?

No. Owners purchase a deeded 1/13 ownership interest in a specific residence at Viceroy Los Cabos.

What exactly do I own?

You own a deeded 1/13 interest in a residence at Viceroy Los Cabos. Ownership is held through a Mexican bank trust structure known as a Fideicomiso, which is the standard method foreign buyers use to own beachfront property in Mexico.

What is a Fideicomiso?

A Fideicomiso is a Mexican bank trust that allows foreign buyers to legally own property within Mexico's restricted coastal zone.
The bank acts solely as trustee while you remain the beneficiary with full ownership rights, including the ability to:

  • Use the property
  • Sell your ownership
  • Transfer ownership
  • Pass ownership to heirs
  • Designate beneficiaries

The trust exists to comply with Mexican law and is the standard ownership structure used by foreign buyers throughout Los Cabos and other coastal destinations.
