In Rosewood, “A” always had the receipts. In a New Mexico divorce, it’s your ex’s attorney.
Everything you post can end up in front of a judge. That vacation photo, that new truck, that “I’m doing great” status. In a divorce or custody case, the other side is watching, and so is the court.

Have a will? Great start. But a will is only one piece of an estate plan. A complete plan in New Mexico also includes a financial power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, an advance directive, and beneficiary designations that match your will, all built around community property rules. If your plan stops at the will, it may be time for a second look. Call us at (505) 317-4455 to see what else you need.

A New Mexico nursing home costs about $8,000 a month, and for most families that is not a bill they can pay out of pocket for long. Without a plan, it can quietly drain the assets your estate plan was meant to protect.

Our new article explains how New Mexico Medicaid eligibility works, including the asset and income limits and the five-year look-back period that catches many families off guard. It also covers the tools that can help, like trusts and spousal protections, and why planning early leaves you with far more options than planning after a health crisis.

If you have aging parents, a spouse with a new diagnosis, or you simply want your own plan to account for long-term care, this is worth reading now. Read the full article (link in comments), or call us at (505) 317-4455 to talk through your options.

A nursing home stay can erode an estate faster than almost anything else. Learn how Medicaid planning works in New Mexico and why it belongs in your estate plan.

Your dog is family, so your plan should include them. If something happened to you tomorrow, who would take them in, who would pay for their food, vet visits, and care, and would that person even know what you want?

Pets are legally treated as property, which means they can't inherit anything on their own, and without a plan they can end up in a shelter or in a dispute between relatives. A pet provision in your estate plan lets you name a caregiver, set aside money for your pet's care, and leave clear instructions. In some cases, a pet trust can make sure those funds are used the way you intended.

It's a simple step that gives you peace of mind and gives your pet a safe landing place. Call us at (505) 317-4455 to add your four-legged family member to your plan.
