Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Mexico
How to gain trusteeship of an estate
Is it possible for me, the sister of the deceased, to gain trusteeship of my sister's estate without the involvement of the informant on the death certificate? The estate is under $30,000. No will or intentions were left by my sister, and the beneficiary she designated on her IRA was her estate. My sister lived in New Mexico. I live in Texas.

Re: How to gain trusteeship of an estate
If your sister died intestate [without a Will], New Mexico Statutes define the procedure and priority for succession of her heirs. Your question did not give enough other facts to answer more fully, but I'd be glad to discuss if you want to call.
