RV title or registration
In the past we have all ways used our RV title for entry to Mexico. Can we use vehicle registration instead of the title?

O.K. here goes:
Two years ago we started the process of transferring the house that my mother in law left my brother in law and my wife in Ciudad Satelite in the suburbs of Mexico City, first verifying that the will is authentic and that Mama is actually dead and is the correct person that is dead, that took four months and it took us about two months to get all the paper work together, birth certificates and coroners reports ETC, then we returned to the USA since the 180 days on the toad and my visa were up, we now left the toad and RV in Texas with my brother.
Returned by plane in a bucket seat, I am to tall for those miniature seats, I ask for the isle seat always.
Then we had to prove that my brother in law and my wife are the same person that the will stipulates that in itself was a big headache, all paper work was denied by the courts, wife's name is Erika with a K and the idiots at the court wrote it as Erica with a C, we had to get a new birth certificate that took two weeks to get and resubmit every scrap of paper, then came the third step and that is with Hacienda the equivalent of the IRS.
We had to prove that the property is the same as in the will and that all taxes and any lean is satisfied, that took a mountain of paperwork, we still had to prove that the address is correct and that every one involved is who they claim to be and that the will was correct and actually current and that all the birth certificates are current they can not be more than three month old so we had to get new ones for Hacienda (IRS equivalent) they only accept originals no copies and paid all the prediales (property taxes) owed and verified paid.
Now comes the transfer of title, so we submitted all the mountain of paperwork to the appropriate agency four months ago, and last week we were told that the judge misread one document so we have to submit every document again with new birth certificates since the time has passed and all the forms for the house and will and every document imaginable.
We actually have a family lawyer that is doing the paperwork for us for free, her son is going to inherit the house with is wife my niece, I can not imagine the amount of money that we would have spent on a law firm, every young person in Mexico has a dream of becoming a lawyer and possibly run for president or a Hueso (bone) in the government, there are more lawyers per capita than regular citizens.
Two years and four months, in California it may take a couple of hours to transfer a home title with an escrow agent and that is it.
So have at least six copies of every document that you can think off that you may need even the cats and dogs vaccine and birth certificate just in case, make sure that front and back are copied and together and if they are in color even better.
Mexico is a bureaucrats dream and a nightmare for the average citizen, the Aduanero or Immigration officers or for that matter Banjersito can just about make up any arcane law, and lo and behold it exists in the Diario Oficial de la Federacion
