Díaz kept his brother's son [[Félix Díaz (politician)|Félix Díaz]] away from political or military power. He did, however, allow his nephew to enrich himself. It was only after Díaz went into exile in 1911 that his nephew became prominent in politics, as the embodiment of the old regime. Even so, Díaz's assessment of his nephew proved astute since Félix never successfully led troops or garnered sustained support, and was forced into exile several times.<ref>Henderson, Peter V.N.

On 2 July 1915, Díaz died in exile in Paris, France. He was buried in the [[Montparnasse Cemetery|Cimetière du Montparnasse]]. His other children died as infants or young children. His widow Carmen and his son were allowed to return to Mexico.<ref name="auto2">{{Harvp|Garner|2001|p=12}}</ref>
