Understanding Hearsay Exceptions
Summary
In New Mexico probate cases, hearsay is generally inadmissible, but exceptions like dying declarations and statements against interest may apply. Dying declarations are made when a person believes their death is imminent, while statements against interest are those that contradict the declarants own interest. These exceptions can allow certain statements to be used in court, even if the original speaker is deceased. Understanding these exceptions can help you navigate legal challenges involving statements made by a deceased party.Full Conversation

Yes, so my mother died when I was 7 years old and my dad and her were on the property deed in *. My father opened probate for my mother and had the deeds. Put into my brother who's name and then transferred to him. He didn't put in her probate that she had any kids in *. My father remarried but he never put my stepmother on any of the deeds. My father passed away in two thousand and nineteen and in two thousand and twenty one i found out that my mother's probate was still open because my father never closed it. So I went and took over as the accessor personal representative of my mother's estate and I was awarded it. I then changed the deeds to include me and my brothers and my stepmother, who was? In charge of the estate of my father and she took me to court.
She died and her niece is now her personal representative and we are going to court now?
