Full text of New Mexico New Mexico Statutes Annotated § 46-8-6 — Adverse claims, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 46-8-6. Adverse claims
A. A person asserting a claim of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer of a
security pursuant to an assignment by a fiduciary may give the corporation or transfer
agent written notice of the claim. The corporation or transfer agent is not put on notice unless the written notice
identifies the claimant, the registered owner, and the issue of which the security
is a part, provides an address for communications directed to the claimant and is
received before the transfer. Nothing in the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security Transfers
relieves the corporation or transfer agent of any liability for making or refusing
to make the transfer after it is so put on notice unless it proceeds in the manner
authorized in Subsection B of this section. B. As soon as practicable after the presentation of a security for transfer pursuant
to an assignment by a fiduciary, a corporation or transfer agent which has received
notice of a claim of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer may send notice of
the presentation by registered or certified mail to the claimant at the address given
by him. If the corporation or transfer agent so mails such a notice it shall withhold the
transfer for thirty days after the mailing and shall then make the transfer unless
restrained by a court order.
