About

New Mexico Probate & Estate Lawyers serves families and heirs navigating disputed estates, inheritance theft, will contests, and wrongful death claims in Albuquerque and throughout New Mexico. The firm was founded by seasoned litigators specifically to handle contested probate cases, distinguishing itself through a willingness to pursue courtroom litigation rather than settle disputes outside the judicial system.

The firm addresses the full spectrum of probate conflicts. Will contests arise when a will's validity is challenged on grounds of undue influence, fraud, or lack of testamentary capacity. Inheritance theft—whether straightforward appropriation of assets or more complex schemes involving forged documents or altered wills—requires specialized investigation and aggressive representation. The firm also handles wrongful death claims, which allow estates to pursue compensation when a death results from negligence or wrongful conduct.

Beyond litigation, New Mexico Probate & Estate Lawyers assists clients with standard probate administration. Even uncontested estates demand careful attention: locating and inventorying assets, identifying creditors and beneficiaries, and distributing property in compliance with New Mexico law. The firm recognizes that probate can overwhelm people during an already difficult time and provides guidance through each required step.

The practice is led by four attorneys, each bringing distinct strengths. Eric combines extensive experience in estate and property litigation with training in clinical psychology, enabling him to communicate effectively with clients facing emotional family conflicts. Kevin is a trial attorney with a reputation for rigorous advocacy; his years teaching trial practice at the UNM School of Law enhance his courtroom effectiveness. David focuses on both district court victories and appellate representation, ensuring that gains made at trial survive any appeal. Will brings expertise in complex litigation and case management from personal injury work, applying those skills to help clients navigate significant transitions.

The firm has worked with hundreds of New Mexico clients to resolve probate disputes and administration matters. New Mexico Probate & Estate Lawyers is located at 5203 Juan Tabo Boulevard NE, Suite 2E, in Albuquerque. Consultations are available by calling 505-370-1500, and the firm offers free initial consultations to prospective clients. The firm's 4.8 Google rating reflects consistent client satisfaction across its practice.
