When does my will have to go through probate? In New Mexico, if your estate is worth more than $50,000, probate is required. For smaller estates or certain assets (like property held in a trust), probate might not be necessary.
Informal probate is a simplified process of executing a will, managing estate claims, and distributing properties to beneficiaries in accordance with the decedents wishes. When informal probate is used, the whole process of managing an estate after the owners death is simplified.
If probate is necessary, the probate case must be filed with the Probate Court in the county where the decedent was domiciled (physically living) at the time of his/her death. Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to file the probate case in District Court. The Probate Court will inform you if this is necessary.
