Probate is the judicial process for transferring property of a person who has died (called a decedent). The property is transferred according to either (1) the decedent’s will, or (2) if the decedent died without a will, according to New Mexico’s laws of intestate succession. The Probate Court appoints legally qualified persons, called personal representatives, to manage and settle the decedent’s business affairs.
