N.M. Stat. § 45-2-111
Alienage.
A. No individual is disqualified to take as an heir because the individual or an
individual through whom he claims is or has been an alien.
B. Aliens shall have full power and authority to acquire or hold real property and
personal property by deed, will, inheritance or otherwise and to alienate, sell, assign
and transfer any property to their heirs or other persons, whether the heirs or other
persons are, or are not, citizens of the United States.
C. When an alien having title or interest in any real property dies, the real property
shall descend and vest in the same manner as if the alien were a citizen of the United
States. The heir of an alien, whether the heir is an alien or not, shall have the same
rights and resources and shall, in all respects, be treated on the same footing as a
native citizen of the United States with respect to the personal estate of an alien dying
intestate, and all persons interested in the estate, under the laws of New Mexico,
whether aliens or not.
