Watch: Why Estate Planning Matters
Most New Mexico families put off estate planning until it's too late. Here's what's at stake when you don't have a plan in place.
Without a will or trust, New Mexico courts determine who gets your assets, who raises your children, and how your estate is divided—often against your wishes.
The probate process can take 6-18 months and cost 3-7% of your estate in legal fees and court costs—money that should go to your family.
Without clear instructions, family members often disagree about your intentions, leading to costly disputes and damaged relationships.
Your family may not be able to access bank accounts, sell property, or manage assets while the estate works through the court system.
Most estate plans can be completed in just 2-3 weeks. Schedule your free consultation today and take the first step toward protecting your family.

Schedule Free ConsultationMost estate plans can be completed in 2-3 weeks from your initial consultation. The timeline depends on the complexity of your situation and how quickly you can gather the necessary information about your assets and wishes.
A will goes through probate court after you pass, which can take months and cost thousands in fees. A trust allows your assets to pass directly to your beneficiaries without court involvement, saving time, money, and keeping your affairs private.
