Introduction
Alicia, a 67-year-old woman, visited the Dirección General de Regularización Territorial (DGRT) in Mexico City to process her will request. She shared her experience: “It was very quick; they gave me a form to pay 707 pesos, and once I make the deposit, I just need to wait for notification of the notary’s location to finalize it.”
Discounted Will Processing by DGRT
The Secretaría de Planeación, Ordenamiento Territorial y Coordinación Metropolitana de la CDMX, through the DGRT, offers year-round discounts of up to 66% on the basic prices for universal wills. All that is required to initiate the process is a valid official ID of the testator.
