Executor Responsibilities In Probate
Summary
In New Mexico, the executor of an estate must follow the will and state probate laws. Executors cannot delegate their responsibilities without court approval. They may appoint a co-executor or agent, but this requires legal documentation and court approval. Executors living out of state, like in Colorado, can face challenges such as travel and handling local legal procedures. Consulting a probate attorney in New Mexico is advisable to ensure compliance with state laws. If a beneficiary dies before the executor, the inheritance is distributed according to the will or state laws. Life insurance policies follow beneficiary designations, and an affidavit of heirship may be required if there is no will. Administrative oversights by insurance companies can cause delays, so its important to ensure all necessary documents are submitted.Full Conversation

does a co-executor able to receive personal belongings of the estate

after assests are distributede can the executor then give all remeaing assests to the co executor
Case Rating: *
In New Mexico, once all the assets have been distributed according to the will and state probate laws, any remaining assets should also be distributed according to the will. If the will does not specify what to do with the remaining assets, the executor cannot simply give them to the co-executor without court approval. It would be best for the executor to consult with a probate attorney to ensure proper distribution.
