How signing works in New Mexico
Signing your will
- Gather two adult witnesses. Pick people who get nothing under your will.
- Sign your will while both witnesses watch.
- Each witness signs while you and the other witness watch.
- If you like, sign a short sworn form with a notary. It helps the court accept your will later.
- Keep the original somewhere safe.
New Mexico does not allow electronic wills. You print your will and sign it in ink.
Remote online notarization where New Mexico allows it, never for wills.
