Medici Land Governance Signs Agreement to Build Next-Generation Land Administration Systems in Mexico

Overstock.com, Inc.(NASDAQ:OSTK) recently announced that its blockchain-meets-property rights subsidiary, Medici Land Governance has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the municipality of Tulum in Quintana Roo, Mexico to develop a digital land records platform.

According to the terms of the MOU, Medici Land Governance (MLG) and Tulum officials will work together to collect real property ownership information for a defined area of Tulum Municipality to protect the land rights of its citizens, resulting in a mass issuance of certificates of title to land and related processes. MLG and Tulum officials will also collaborate to create a method for automatically capturing and recording subsequent land administration transactions and updates to the digital platform.  

“Mexico’s adoption of advanced technology in their land registry will increase opportunities for individuals to strengthen their connections to the global economy through rightful ownership of land,” said Medici Land Governance CEO, Ali El Husseini, PhD. “Medici Land Governance’s next-generation land administration systems provide an egalitarian solution to the problem of developing a digital property titling platform that is reliable and secure, bringing trust through technology to Tulum County and its surrounding areas.”

“The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding between the Municipality of Tulum and Medici Land Governance represents the beginning of a new territorial ordering stage for the digitalization of land ownership and related processes,” said Víctor Mas Tah, mayor of the municipality of Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
