Full text of New Mexico New Mexico Statutes Annotated § 45-3-913 — Distributions to trustee, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 45-3-913. Distributions to trustee
A. Before distributing to a trustee, the personal representative may require that
the trust be registered if the state in which it is to be administered provides for
registration and that the trustee inform the beneficiaries as provided in Section 46A-8-813 NMSA 1978 . B. If the trust instrument does not excuse the trustee from giving bond, the personal
representative may petition the appropriate court to require that the trustee post
bond if the personal representative apprehends that distribution might jeopardize
the interests of persons who are not able to protect themselves, and the personal
representative may withhold distribution until the court has acted. C. No inference of negligence on the part of the personal representative shall be
drawn from the personal representative's failure to exercise the authority conferred
by Subsections A and B of this section.
