Full text of New Mexico New Mexico Statutes Annotated § 45-3-107 — Scope of proceedings; proceedings independent; exception, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 45-3-107. Scope of proceedings; proceedings independent; exception
Unless supervised administration as described in Sections 3-501 through 3-505 is involved,
each proceeding before the district court or probate court is independent of any other
proceeding involving the same estate. Petitions for orders of the district court may combine various requests for relief
in a single proceeding. Except as required for proceedings which are particularly described in Sections
3-101 through 3-1204, no petition is defective because it fails to embrace all matters
which might then be the subject of a final order. Proceedings for probate of wills or adjudications of no will may be combined with
proceedings for appointment of personal representatives. A proceeding for appointment of a personal representative is concluded by an order
making or declining the appointment.
