Marco ChaconJulián’s stepfather and executor of the estate, indicated to the press that, months before Julián’s death, Imelda Garza Tuñón promoted legal advice with the intention of getting a divorce and to keep the ranch.
“What I can say is that she was promoting the divorce, she looked for a lawyer to divorce, there is the lawyer, there are the talks with the lawyer… through that lawyer, she wanted to keep the Las Palmas ranch, it is a real fact,” Chacón declared in statements to various media.

Both lived in the same residence, but They had been living apart for a year before the deatheven in different rooms within the property, according to Chacón himself. Furthermore, he pointed out that the marriage was established under the separate property regime.
During his life, Julian Figueroa publicly expressed his desire to maintain The Palms as family heritage. He had announced his intention to convert the ranch into a restaurant and boutique hotel, with the goal of preserving his family’s legacy and creating a space with historical and cultural value.
Julián’s unexpected death in April 2023 cut short that project and left the administration of the assets on hold, with the ranch as the main asset.
In January 2025, a real estate agency announced the sale of The Palms for an amount of 50 million pesos, which generated surprise because it occurred while the succession litigation was active. This announcement coincided with the legal process between Maribel Guardia and Imelda Garza Tuñónand the pending judicial designation regarding the destination of the assets for the minor heir, Jose Julian.
The relevance of the case increased after recent allegations about the authenticity of Julián Figueroa’s will. The contested document designates as universal heir Jose Julianbut Imelda Garza Tuñón has argued before the courts of Morelos that Julián’s signature does not correspond to that of the will, and that the singer was in Mexico City when the document was signed.
The legal conflict intensified this Wednesday, March 11, 2026, when Maribel Guardia shared a new statement in which it reported on an open procedure in Warrior against the notary office that prepared Julián’s will.
According to the actress, this process was carried out secretly and without the participation of her family, and she presented an expert opinion that questions the notary’s signature.
Guardia clarified on his social networks that this procedure is independent of the succession trial that continues in Morelos. “This procedure is different from the one that takes place in Morelos, which follows its course independently,” the actress said in a post on Instagram.
The court hearings in Cuernavaca have brought together the central figures in the dispute, including Maribel Guardia and Marco Chaconwho defend the authenticity of the will and Julián’s will to protect his son’s future.
He Las Palmas ranch It stands out not only for its economic value, but also for its symbolic weight in the history of the Figueroa family. In addition to recreational and rest areas, the property includes a chapel designed for the first communion of Jose Julianwhich reinforces the emotional charge of the property.
Among the ranch’s amenities are:
- Six rooms and main house decorated with memories of Joan Sebastian
- Large pool and stables
- Old carts of Spanish origin
- Religious chapel and museum with mounts used by the singer
While the courts of Morelos define the validity of the will and the destination of the inheritance, The Palms remains a symbol of the patrimonial and family conflict that surrounds the legacy of Julian Figueroa and Joan Sebastian.
