N.M. Stat. § 45-3-910
Purchases from distributees protected.
If property distributed in kind or a security interest therein is acquired for value by a
purchaser from or lender to a distributee who has received an instrument or deed of
distribution from the personal representative, or is so acquired by a purchaser from or
lender to a transferee from such distributee, the purchaser or lender takes title free of
rights of any interested person in the estate and incurs no personal liability to the estate,
or to any interested person, whether or not the distribution was proper or supported by
court order or the authority of the personal representative was terminated before
execution of the instrument or deed. This section protects a purchaser from or lender to
a distributee who, as personal representative, has executed a deed of distribution to
himself, as well as a purchaser from or lender to any other distributee or transferee. To
be protected under this provision, a purchaser or lender need not inquire whether a
personal representative acted properly in making the distribution in kind, even if the
personal representative and the distributee are the same person, or whether the
authority of the personal representative had terminated before the distribution.
