Overview
- Notaries nationwide offer up to 50% off and free legal guidance this month, with Profeco citing typical fees between 1,160 and 3,734 pesos.
- In Mexico City, the DGRT’s Testamóvil runs weekdays from 10:00 to 15:00, and adults 65+ pay 707.13 pesos for a will with one legacy under a discount of up to 66%.
- Local programs add targeted pricing and rules, including a Naucalpan option listed at 850 pesos with documentation handled directly at the notary.
- To make a will, applicants present official identification and a birth certificate and must meet the state’s minimum age, commonly 14, 16 or 18.
- Only about 4.7% of adults have a will, and dying without one triggers intestate succession that can last two to three years in simple cases and more than a decade if contested.
