How can I recover my belongings if they were confiscated?

 
If when detained by any US authority your belongings were seized, the Consulate and/or the local office can help you in the process of recovering your belongings and sending them to the person of your choosing, either in Mexico or in the United States. This only can be made in a period of 30 days after the date of the seizure.
 
It is very important to keep the claim receipt number that the authority will give you after the detention, since it confirms your belongings were seized and you will need it in order to recover.

How do I recover the real estate I bought in the United States?

Some relative or person of trust, whom you have authorized by power of attorney (a public document authorized by a notary public that allows you to appoint another person as your representative so he/she can act on your behalf), must go with a real estate broker for selling, or keeping, the property. In case there is a mortgage involved, when re-entering Mexico the necessary arrangements must be made in order to continue covering payments through bank transfers.
