From Offer to Keys
Seller’s Closing Roadmap & Checklist
Prepare your paperwork early. Once an offer is accepted, your agent, transaction attorney, escrow provider, and Notario coordinate the steps below.
- Locate your original registered purchase deed and the related CFDI tax invoice. Tell your agent promptly if either is missing so the Notario can confirm what is needed.
- Arrange your RFC (Mexican tax identification number) early, ideally when you list. Ask the Notario to confirm your tax registration and supporting documents.
- If you cannot attend closing, have the attorney prepare a suitable power of attorney. A document signed abroad may require notarization, an apostille or legalization, and translation. Confirm the required format before signing.
This checklist is practical guidance, not legal or tax advice. Contract terms, escrow fees, tax eligibility, and document requirements must be confirmed for your transaction with the Notario, attorney, escrow provider, and accountant.
