Cross-Border Legal Architecture
for International Real Estate

Despite its position as a global innovation hub, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) maintains strict requirements on accepted payment methods. Direct cryptocurrency or stablecoin transfers are not accepted for property registration.

Cuandeoro Solution: We implement a hybrid model where funds are captured digitally and settled via Manager's Cheque issued in Dirhams (AED) by an authorized local banking institution.

For legal representation, we utilize super-legalized powers of attorney (apostilled and translated) authorizing employees of our local structure to execute before the DLD. We deliberately avoid using external real estate agents as proxies to eliminate inherent conflicts of interest.

Spain represents the stronghold of Latin notarial tradition. While Law 11/2023 advances digitalization of notarial acts, property purchase deeds still require physical presence before a notary in most cases.

Cuandeoro Solution: We implement the "European Proxy" model, leveraging automatic recognition of public documents between Ireland and Spain under the Hague Convention of 1961 (Apostille).

Our local representatives hold non-resident tax identification numbers (NIF type N) and Spanish DNI/NIE, ensuring full traceability required by Law 10/2010 on Prevention of Money Laundering. The notary can verify the proxy's identity and the validity of the power of attorney at the time of execution.

Florida represents the paradigm of digital efficiency in real estate closings. Since 2020, the state permits Remote Online Notarization (RON), enabling buyers and sellers to execute closing documents entirely remotely via certified videoconference.

Cuandeoro Solution: Our Irish corporate structure can execute closings 100% remotely without physical proxies on US territory. A Florida-authorized notary verifies identity through Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) and qualified electronic signature.

We carefully navigate the restrictions of Senate Bill 264 (2023) limiting property acquisitions by entities linked to certain countries. We utilize transparent corporate structures with clearly identified ultimate beneficial owners, fully compliant with CFIUS and FinCEN requirements.

Mexico presents the constitutional challenge of the "Restricted Zone" (Article 27): foreigners cannot directly acquire property within 100 km of borders or 50 km of coastlines. For these zones, a bank trust (Fideicomiso) is required where a Mexican credit institution acts as trustee.

Cuandeoro Solution: Given the stringency of the Federal Law for Prevention and Identification of Operations with Illicit Proceeds (LFPIORPI), we execute a process of protocolization of foreign powers of attorney before Mexican notaries.

This process localizes the foreign investor's legal capacity, enabling our local proxies to execute public deeds while meeting all beneficial owner identification requirements. The Mexican notary registers the transaction with the Public Registry of Property and reports to the Financial Intelligence Unit when applicable.

Venezuela represents a high-complexity operational environment requiring mandatory biometric validation before SAREN (Autonomous Service of Registries and Notaries). Direct remote presence is technologically impossible for final execution of property transfer documents.

Cuandeoro Solution: We deploy local proxies biometrically registered in the SAIME (Administrative Service for Identification, Migration and Immigration) system with verified fingerprints. These proxies act under strict, operation-specific mandates.

Financial settlement occurs externally and securely, mitigating exposure to local banking system volatility and exchange restrictions. Funds are maintained in stable jurisdictions until final settlement to the seller.
