N.M. Stat. § 45-1-305
Records and certified copies.
A. The clerk of the district court and the clerk of the probate court shall each keep a
record for each decedent, protected person or trust involved in any document that may
be filed with the clerk's respective court under the Uniform Probate Code, including
petitions and applications, demands for notices or bonds and orders by the respective
court, and responses relating thereto, and shall establish and maintain a system for
indexing, filing or recording that is sufficient to enable users of the records to obtain
adequate information. Upon payment of the fees required by law, the clerk shall issue
certified copies of any probated wills, letters issued to personal representatives or any
other record or paper filed or recorded. Certificates relating to probated wills shall
indicate whether the decedent was domiciled in New Mexico and whether the probate
was formal or informal. Such certificates shall also indicate the names and addresses of
any known heirs. Certificates relating to letters shall show the date of appointment.
B. If convenient or desirable for any reason, the presiding district judge for each
judicial district shall have the power, at the judge's discretion, to order that the records
of informal probate proceedings of a particular county be kept under the supervision of
the probate court or clerk of the probate court of that county for such period of time as
the district judge may determine.
