What is the New Mexico Transfer on Death Deed
On January 1, 2014, New Mexico joined with eleven other states to enact the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act (URPTODA), found at Sections 45-6-401 through 45-6-417 NMSA 1978 (2014). This enhances and adds clarity to the previous transfer on death statute already in force in the state.
A transfer on death deed (TODD) under the new law is defined by the Uniform Law Commission as an instrument that provides owners of real estate in New Mexico with a simple process for the non-probate transfer of real estate. The act allows an owner of real property to designate a beneficiary who will automatically receive the property upon the owner's death, without the need to include it in the decedent's probate estate. Instead, the property passes by means of a recorded TODD. During the owner's lifetime, the beneficiary of a TOD deed has no interest in the property and the owner retains full power to transfer or encumber the property, or even to revoke the deed outright.
New Mexico's version of the URPTODA sets out the rules and provides forms for both the deed and its revocation. To be valid, the TODD must meet three requirements ( 45-6-409):
1) it must contain the essential elements and formalities of a properly recordable inter vivos deed;
2) it must state that the transfer to the designated beneficiary is to occur at the transferor's death; and
3) it must be recorded before the transferor's death in the public records with the clerk of the county where the property is located.
TODDs represent a potential future interest, conveying whatever rights, if any, the owner retains in the property at the time of death. So, unlike inter vivos deeds ("traditional" documents such as warranty or quitclaim deeds), a TODD does not require notice, delivery, acceptance, or consideration ( 45-6-410).
The transferor (owner) under a TODD must meet the same standards for capacity as someone who executes a will, but the deed is not affected by the terms of the deceased owner's will. For example, Mary executes and records a TODD leaving her house and land to Bob, and then leaves the same property to Joe in her will. In most cases, Bob gets the land and Joe gets nothing.
If Mary actually wanted to leave the land to Joe, she could execute and record a revocation of the transfer to Bob, then record a new TODD in Joe's name. Alternately, she could sell the land to someone else entirely, and include a statement in the deed, revoking all or part of any previously recorded TODDs. See Section 45-6-411 for more information.
TODDs also offer some flexibility to beneficiaries. If the recipient is unable or unwilling to accept the transfer, Section 45-6-414 authorizes a beneficiary to disclaim all or part of his/her interest as provided by the Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act [Chapter 45, Article 2, Part 11 NMSA 1978].
Overall, New Mexico's statutory transfer on death deed is a flexible estate planning tool that allows owners of real property in the state to convey a potential future interest in real property to one or more beneficiaries. The transfer may be changed or revoked at any time during the owner's life, simply by recording the appropriate documents. Each situation is unique, so carefully review all the benefits and drawbacks of this and any other real estate decisions. Seek legal counsel for help with specific questions or complex situations.

This was easy to use and only contained one glaring error-where to send the completed form to finish the process. I’ve completed the form, does this mean I get the amended deed sent to me? I think not.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I'm not certain yet that this is all I need to do what I need to do. Marion Co. Clerk's office has not been helpful. I found this site from that site & hopefully it will help.
Thanks for the feedback Yvonne. We hope you found what you needed. Have a wonderful day!

These guys saved the day! Very good at what they do and deliver AS ADVERTISED!! My county's recorder's office was closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recorder's office did not offer the service I needed online. Attempting to close on a home the following day, I was in immediate need of a deed for property that I previously owned to provide to the underwriters for my pending loan. I thought I was dead in the water and would miss my next day closing date. Strolling the internet for options, I came upon DEEDS.COM. After reading the posted reviews, I thought I would give them a try. Within 10 minutes of placing my order, I received ALL the information I requested about the property I previously owned. Thank you DEEDS.COM for the prompt, courteous, and professional service. You guys are ROCK STARS!!! I closed on my new home.
Thank you so much for your kinds words Darryl, glad we were able to help.

This was so easy to use. I appreciated the finished sample to guide me and the proper attachments necessary to process my Quit Claim Deed. I am gifting it to my nephew as I am too old to run farm and I live in a different state now. I tried other websites but their info was not up to date or accurate. Thank you so much. 71 Y/O Nana.

This makes it so easy and I'm so glad I found you.
I visited two other sites before I found this one. They were cumbersome to use to the point where I abandoned them and kept on looking. Then I found yours, and it was a breeze. Thank you so much!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Great service ! Hawaii is not a "forms state" so unfortunately the public has no way to get templates on our local gov site but deeds.com to the rescue. The template was affordable and easy to use and successfully recorded. Great to use when you don't need to involve title or attorneys for simple deed changes, thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
