There is a difference between a will and a living will. What you described is not a living will.
Now, from what I understand, you cannot own land or property in Mexico unless you are a citizen. (one of the reasons I never moved there).
All I can say is good luck.
A living will is a directive written by the dying person. It states what kind of care the person wants while he is still alive. It is also called an advance health care directive. Once the person has died, the living will is null and void. It is no longer important to anyone unless the patients wishes were not carried out. In this case, there would be a court hearing and the living will would be a very important paper to have.
