Mexico Activates September Will-Making Drive With Up to 50% Notary Discounts

The push aims to cut barriers to will-making to prevent costly intestate proceedings.

Overview

  • The national campaign, run by Segob and the Notariado Mexicano since 2003, is live across all 32 states this September.
  • Participating notarías provide free legal counseling, extended hours including Saturdays, and discounts of up to 50% on the testamento público abierto.
  • Regular notary fees typically range from 1,160 to 3,734 pesos depending on the state, with promotional pricing applied during the campaign.
  • The minimum age to grant a will is 16, wills are revocable, and the most recent will automatically annuls any prior versions.
  • Citizens can locate participating offices via the Notariado Mexicano directory (notariadomexicano.org.mx/directorio-de-notarios), and in Mexico City there are additional jornadas notariales and CEJUR modules where discounts may vary by age.
