Law of MexicoCapstone
Capstone: Emma Carlson and the Tulum guesthouse
Emma Carlson is an invented Swedish entrepreneur who has moved to Tulum, on the Caribbean coast, to open Casa Marea, a small guesthouse with a café. In one year, several things happen. She arrived on a visitor’s permit and has been running the guesthouse for pay. She needs the right company form, and plans to buy produce through a local supplier. She buys a plot near the sea under a private contract, from a seller who says it is family ejido land. She dismisses a manager, Luis, with no written cause. And she marries Diego Hernández, a Mexican citizen, and they have no wills. You advise Emma using the course and its three tools. Assume that everything is in Quintana Roo, that Emma is a Swedish citizen, that Diego is a Mexican citizen and that the facts are as stated.
This course explains the law of Mexico, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on the law of Mexico, using invented people and businesses. It states laws and procedures in simplified form and is not legal advice. The law and its practice change, and every case turns on its facts, the authority and the state concerned. It does not offer legal representation or a legal opinion on any case. Consult a Mexican lawyer for any real matter.
