1. Introduction
Every September, Mexico celebrates the national campaign “Will Month”, promoted by the Ministry of the Interior and public notaries.
Its goal is to encourage legal prevention, making it easier and more affordable for citizens to formalize their wills with reduced costs, extended hours, and professional guidance.
In 2025, this program is more relevant than ever, especially in growing cities like Playa del Carmen, where more families seek to protect their assets.
2. What is Will Month?
Will Month is an annual campaign in which notaries across the country offer:
- Discounts on will drafting.
- Priority attention for senior citizens.
- Free guidance on the importance of this legal document.
Thanks to this program, making a will becomes more accessible and straightforward.
3. Why is having a will important in Playa del Carmen?
- Prevents family disputes over inheritance.
- Protects real estate, which often has high value in Playa del Carmen.
- Allows you to designate legal guardians for minor children.
- Ensures your wishes are respected without lengthy or costly court processes.
In a city with dynamic real estate and constant migration, having a will is even more crucial.
4. Benefits of making your will in September 2025
- Significant discounts at participating notaries.
- Legal security for your loved ones.
- Faster service and accessible advice.
- Immediate validity: your will takes effect as soon as it is signed.
5. What happens if you don’t have a will?
If a person dies intestate (without a will) in Mexico, a probate court process must be opened, which often means:
- Long and costly legal proceedings.
- Potential family conflicts.
- Uncertainty about how assets will be distributed.
6. Recommendations for making your will
- Visit a notary personally, since only notaries in Mexico can formally execute a will.
- Bring a valid official ID.
- Prepare a list of assets and heirs beforehand.
- Seek legal advice to structure your will clearly and avoid ambiguities that could complicate the notarial process.
