During September 2026, individuals in Baja California can execute a will for a preferential notary fee of MXN 1,500. ^[1] Marco Antonio Pacheco Peña, secretary general of the CNTE in Baja California, said on 2026-09-02 that around 3,000 interim teachers across the state are affected by unpaid wages, with the debt estimated at 50 to 70 million pesos. ^[2] On 2026-09-02, the CNTE teachers union in Baja California, Mexico, continued an indefinite strike and took over the Tijuana-Tecate federal highway toll booth, after members agreed not to start the school year because of unpaid interim teachers. ^[3] Participants in the 'September, Will Month 2026' campaign are exempt from paying state rights for the review and safeguarding of the last will, which normally costs around MXN 397. ^[4] Irma Martínez, Baja California's state education secretary, said fewer than 500 CNTE teachers are owed wages. ^[5] Pacheco estimated that about 600 teachers are currently on strike in Baja California, affecting 40-50 schools and leaving 6,000 to 7,000 basic-education students without classes. ^[6] Tobías Duarte Corral recommended not delaying the process until the last days of September because each notary organizes appointments differently. ^[7] Tobías Duarte Corral, president of the Colegio de Notarios de Baja California, stated that the process involves initial advice, format preparation, and a scheduled appointment to sign. ^[8]
