Completing the Transfer under a New Mexico Transfer on Death Deed
In January 2014, New Mexico updated its statutes relating to transfer on death deeds (TODD). This new information is codified at Sections 45-6-401 through 45-6-417 NMSA 1978.
The law for transferors is specific about executing and revoking TODDs, but offers almost no guidance to beneficiaries who wish to accept the real estate after the owner's death. Technically, the transferor's death triggers a change in ownership to the beneficiary, but how does that happen?
One way to formalize the title transfer is to file an <b>affidavit of facts as to death</b>. This document usually contains details about the recorded transfer on death deed as well as identification of the subject property. By submitting the affidavit to the recording office for the county where the land is situated, the beneficiary has protected his/her interest in the real estate and maintained a clear chain of title.
In addition to the affidavit itself, the beneficiary might submit an official copy of both the deceased transferor's death certificate and the recorded transfer on death deed, naming the beneficiary as the intended recipient of the interest in real property. Not all New Mexico counties require these documents; some refuse to accept death certificates for recording at all, citing privacy concerns.
Overall, even though the transfer of title rights to the beneficiary happens as a function of law, it makes sense to formalize it by recording an affidavit of facts as to death. Before submitting the affidavit for entry in the public record, check with the local recording office to verify the correct supporting documentation.
Remember that each circumstance is unique, so contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex situations.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.
Thank you, Ronald. We're glad you found the forms easy to download, though we're sorry to hear about the printing and fill-in experience. Our forms are designed to be fillable and printable using free software like Adobe Reader. If you ever run into issues, our support team is happy to help!

Outstanding forms and service. Liked that the main deed forms were PDF so I could fill them out on my laptop, in my own time, instead of some online Q/A auto populate system. Guide was helpful, as was the completed sample. Used the erecording service to file the deed, amazing.
Thank you for your wonderful review Nancy! Our team takes pride in providing helpful resources, and we are pleased that the guide and completed sample were beneficial to you throughout the process. Making the deed filing journey smoother for our users is always our top priority.

I thought the process was fairly easy. The price was reasonable. I had a slight problem, some of the words were missing from one page of the documents when I printed it. However, after I saved it to my computer, I was able to print the page in full.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms were easy to use but there was a software issue that made it impossible to get the county name to appear on the form in the correct place. It made the deed look a little sloppy
Thank you!
