[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Whoever is settling the estate of someone who lived in New Mexico. Handed to the bank or other holder. Presented to whoever holds the property. Not the right fit if The person didn't live in or own property in New Mexico, or a will contest or family dispute means you need an estate attorney. Not a form preparation or legal service. Why it is different - Sources, checked November 2026: New Mexico Courts Self-Representation: Probate; New Mexico Courts: Probate forms; NMSA 1978 Chapter 45, Uniform Probate Code, unannotated (New Mexico Compilation Commission, NMOneSource); Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in New Mexico (Nolo, updated August 2025). - All 12 New Mexico facts are confirmed: on an official page, or where none could be read, on a vetted secondary source marked as such. What is inside - **New Mexico small estate route.** An estate totaling less than $50,000 with no real property. Real estate in the person's name alone takes the estate out of this procedure. 30 days. At least 30 days after the death, with no application for a personal representative. Signed before a notary. Signed by the person entitled to the property and notarized. Handed to the bank or other holder. Presented to whoever holds the property. No statewide court form. The New Mexico courts' probate forms page lists no small estate affidavit. Some counties post their own, such as Torrance County's Small Estate Affidavit (Collection of Personal Property) citing NMSA 45-3-1201. Affidavit of surviving spouse (primary residence): The residence can pass to the surviving spouse without probate when its assessed value is no more than $500,000 and at least 6 months have passed; notarized and filed with the county clerk. A primary residence assessed at $500,000 or less can pass to the surviving spouse by affidavit after 6 months. - **How a New Mexico will had to be signed.** At least two witnesses, who sign in the presence of the testator and of each other. Allowed. The testator's acknowledgment and the witnesses' affidavits are each made before an officer authorized to administer oaths. Not recognized: the probate code's definition of a will excludes a holographic will. A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it. - **New Mexico estate ledger (Excel).** Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $50,000, dates day 30 after the death and flags real estate in the person's name alone, which rules the route out. - **First 30 days, tracker and letters.** The first month in order with day 30 marked, a documents and accounts tracker, and plain letters to a bank, a utility and Social Security.
