HB 132 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

REPEAL OF DEPOSIT OF WILL

HB 132 repeals a New Mexico law requiring wills to be deposited with the clerk of the district court. This change directly affects individuals creating wills in New Mexico by removing a specific administrative step. The key provision simply eliminates Section 45-2-515 NMSA 1978, which mandated this deposit process. The bill makes no other policy changes and is purely procedural. This repeal simplifies the will-creation process without altering substantive estate law.
