Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Convenient for what purposes? For your daughters? For your personal representatives? For you?
Wills and trusts (and a fideicomiso which I understand is a trust) serve different purposes.
How old are your daughters? If they're minors, a trust would provide an arrangement for property and funds to be held until they're of age. it also avoids probate IF properly funded.
If your daughters are of legal age, assets held jointly, payable to them on the death of both of you, or the later of the two of you, would be a workable solution.
If they're of age, you could title other assets jointly as well, but there are legal issues that need to be explored.
So, the question is, what are your trying to accomplish to achieve "convenience", and what does "convenience" mean to you?
Will your estate be settled in Florida or in Mexico? First make that determination and then sit down with a lawyer who knows estate law for the jurisdiction where the estate will be settled. Never mind what is "convenient". Focus on what holds up in court.
First, thank you for being helpful. By convenience we mean avoiding our daughters going through a long and complex legal process, upon the death of both or the later of us, to take over their inheritance. They are both of legal age. Currently we have a Will and Testament, where we name both of them to equally to receive some properties and savings, but we understand the probate process may become a hardship. That's why we are exploring some other means. and we'd like to hear from others with more experience on this matters.
Jorcha - I'd suggest you do everything coordinated with a banking group that does biz in Mexico. I'm not familiar with FL but for Texas, Frost Bank has been doing this like forever & they are a great bank and have division to deal with the whole US IRS required reporting on the fidelcomiso property you own in Mexico and any other legal. Also in TX, there's International Bancshares & BaNorte's Inter National Bank. If you have a S.A., BaNorte has a great reputation on paying vendors in the US correctly for US taxes.
If the properties are in the US, a living trust might work well. I have four grown children, and my husband and I set up a trust that has worked for me since my husband's passing. You can have an outside trustee, or the daughters can be successor trustees assuming they work together well and trust each other.
