Hello All,
Newbie here. My family owns a 2% undivided interest in both surface and minerals in 3 tracts located in New Mexico.
I have a few succession questions if anyone can provide some light. Any assistance would be helpful.
Facts:
- The party owning interest was a resident of the State of Oklahoma at the time of her death
- The party owning interest had probate proceedings in the State of Oklahoma distributing all right title and interest equally to her two children; however, the OK Probate did not include any New Mexico lands. There is a "rest/remainder/residue clause" in the OK probate
Questions:
- Are we required to complete ancillary probate proceedings in NM to vest title with the decedent's heirs?
- If we do not have to complete ancillary probate in NM, what is the process to properly vest tile with the heirs
Thank you all!
Ben
