Mexico Launches 23rd ‘September, Month of the Will’ Campaign

The government frames wills as a peace‑building tool that prevents inheritance disputes.

Overview

  • SEGOB chief Rosa Icela Rodríguez formally kicked off the 2025 edition on September 3, calling the will the “last act of love” and a means to leave clear, orderly instructions.
  • The National Registry of Will Notices counted just over 7.5 million notices by mid‑August, with roughly half recorded during annual campaign periods.
  • Throughout September, notaries are lowering honoraria, providing free legal guidance, and extending service hours, including Saturdays, to facilitate the process.
  • SEGOB and the Colegio Nacional del Notariado Mexicano are partnering to expand access so more people can formalize inheritances with legal certainty.
  • In Puebla, the government set a promotional fee of 1,800 pesos for those with a single social‑interest property and reported 1,100 wills granted during its 2024 drive.
