We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Do you need a lawyer to make a will in New Mexico?

Estate planning and probate laws are detailed and complex. While there are DIY options for creating your own will in New Mexico, without legal education and experience, you are not in a position to know which laws apply to you and what happens if you inadvertently break them.

Can I write my own will in New Mexico?

New Mexico allows for a fairly flexible definition of last will and testament. Any adult individual can create a document discussing how their estate will be handled following their death, provided it is signed in front of two witnesses who sign their names.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

If your language is ambiguous or your intentions are not clear it could lead to instructions not being followed properly or the will being ruled invalid. Ensure you seek professional advice when writing a will, and that all of the proper steps are taken, including having the will witnessed.

What are the requirements for a will to be valid in New Mexico?

It must be entirely written, dated, and signed by the hand of the Testator himself. The Testator should sign at the bottom of the Holographic Will. Any additional provisions written below his signature must be dated and signed by him to make them valid.

Can I write my own will and have it docHubd in New Mexico?

To make a valid will in New Mexico, you must be at least 18, have a sound mind, put your will in writing, and sign it in front of two witnesses. Although you do not need a notary, having one can streamline the probate process.

Are handwritten wills legal in NM?

Handwritten wills are legal in New Mexico, but only when they are properly attested and executed. Even if the will is in the will creators (testators) own handwriting, they must still sign the document in front of two witnesses, who must then sign the document in the presence of the testator and one another.
