Rule 1B-701. Transfer from probate court to district court.

If transfer is required under Rule 1B-101(B)(2) NMRA, the probate court shall transfer the case to the district court in the county where the probate case is pending. Whether the transfer is initiated by the probate court or on request of an interested party or an attorney, the probate court shall make a copy of the file to retain in the probate court and the probate court shall send the original file to the district court along with the transfer order. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the person initiating the transfer shall check with the district court clerk about any fee that may be required.
