Bank fees vary modestly across the four trustee banks still taking new business — quoted ranges reflect 2026 schedules. SRE (Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores) permit is federal and roughly flat. Trust renews at the 50-year mark for a similar one-time fee. Does not include legal review of the trust agreement (typically $500–$1,500 with your buyer's attorney).
