A New Mexico last will and testament creates a legally enforceable plan for how a person’s property will be distributed after they die. The creator of the will is called the testator, while the people (or organizations) who receive property under the will’s terms are called beneficiaries. Wills can also appoint people to assist with the transfer of assets, as well as modify or revoke other wills.
Laws – Chapter 45 (Uniform Probate Code)
Signing Requirements (§ 45-2-502) – Wills must be in writing, signed by the testator. At least two people must witness the testator sign the will and then sign the will in the presence of the testator and of each other.
