Are there any recurring fees involved?
No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.
Probate, or the court supervised process of settling and distributing a decedent's estate, is commenced in the county where the decedent maintained a primary residence at the time of his or her death. What happens, though, when a decedent owned real property in New Mexico outside their county of residence?
For those situations, the estate's personal representative, (the fiduciary appointed by the court to administer the estate), is required to execute and file a statutory Notice of Administration under NMSA 1978, 45-1-404 in the county clerk's office where the property is situated.
The notice states the name of the decedent, the title and docket number of the administration proceedings, a description of the type of administration, the court where the administration is commenced, the personal representative's name, title, and address, and a complete legal description of the real property.
The personal representative signs the notice in the presence of a notary public before submitting it for recording. Once recorded in the conveyancing records where the property is located, no other documentation is required concerning the estate's administration in that county (45-1-404(B)).
Along with meeting the statutory content requirements, the document should meet all state and county formatting standards for documents relating to real property. A copy of the notice may be filed in the probate records of the county where probate is opened, though this is not necessary.
Consult an attorney with questions related to probate proceedings and Notices of Administration in New Mexico.

Used a form from this service. Best part about these forms is that they don't let you get in trouble by removing or changing things that should not be changed. It's easy to look at something and think why is this margin so big, why is this field so small and want to change it only to find out it is incredibly important. That's why they are the deed document pros.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear you found our forms reliable and well-structured. It’s true—what might look like an odd margin or a small field is often there for a very specific legal or recording reason. We’ve seen how small changes can lead to big headaches, which is why we design our documents to be both user-friendly and compliant with strict recording standards. We really appreciate you recognizing the care that goes into each one. Thanks again for choosing us!

My goal was to find the Covenant, Conditions, and Restrictions for my HOA. From what I can read, these documents should be attached to our Deed (single family, patio home in New Hanover County). I am not sure if I have a copy of my Deed. I would need to check my Safe Deposit Box.
Unfortunately, I was not successful at finding these documents from your Website.
If you can help me find them, I would appreciate that.
It is most common to obtain a copy of CC&Rs directly from the HOA. Alternatively, they are also usually a matter of public record recorded with the local recorder and you can obtain a copy there.

Once I found your site it was very easy to understand, order and copy the forms. It is very helpful that you included an example of a completed form. Thank you. This form helps hundreds of seniors avoid lawyers, probate and the fear of losing their homes.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Could not give me any deed history prior to 1986, when our company bought the property, so this was a bust.
Thank you for your feedback April. Have a great day.

The document I purchased (QuitClaim Deed) had detailed directions explaining how to complete the form. This made it easy to complete without any doubt that it was completed incorrectly (which was my fear). I also used the E-File service and it was processed very quickly without any issues. Thank you for making this process simple! I will definitely use this service again.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Can you also make a search that includes the parcel number because that is all I had to go with and regular name searches didn't come up with anything I needed.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Site is very well laid out and easy to use. My only issue is that it wouldn't allow me to change my password, so I'm stuck with the "temporary" one. Not a big deal, but I would have preferred to change it.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Well, When I got the question right I got the answers right from Claim Deed. In the end it all worked out very, very good. I'm pleased with the deed and the price was very fair. Thank you for answering all my crazy questions. Now all we have to do is go to UPS and sign it. Thank, again.
Thank you!
