N.M. Stat. § 59A-41-43
Fraudulent transfer after petition.
A. After a petition for rehabilitation or liquidation has been filed a transfer of any of
the real property of the insurer made to a person acting in good faith shall be valid
against the receiver if made for a present fair equivalent value, or, if not made for a
present fair equivalent value, then to the extent of the present consideration actually
paid therefor, for which amount the transferee shall have a lien on the property so
transferred. The commencement of a proceeding in rehabilitation or liquidation shall be
constructive notice upon the recording of a copy of the petition for or order of
rehabilitation or liquidation with the recorder of deeds in the county where any real
property in question is located. The exercise by a court of the United States or any state
or jurisdiction to authorize or effect a judicial sale of real property of the insurer within
any county in any state shall not be impaired by the pendency of such a proceeding
unless the copy is recorded in the county prior to the consummation of the judicial sale.
B. After a petition for rehabilitation or liquidation has been filed and before either the
receiver takes possession of the property of the insurer or an order of rehabilitation or
liquidation is granted:
(1)
a transfer of any of the property of the insurer, other than real property,
made to a person acting in good faith shall be valid against the receiver if made for a
present fair equivalent value, or, if not made for a present fair equivalent value, then to
the extent of the present consideration actually paid therefor, for which amount the
transferee shall have a lien on the property so transferred;
(2)
a person indebted to the insurer or holding property of the insurer may, if
acting in good faith, pay the indebtedness or deliver the property, or any part thereof, to
the insurer or upon his order, with the same effect as if the petition were not pending;
(3)
a person having actual knowledge of the pending rehabilitation or
liquidation shall be deemed not to act in good faith; and
(4)
a person asserting the validity of a transfer under this section shall have
the burden of proof. Except as elsewhere provided in this section, no transfer by or on
behalf of the insurer after the date of the petition for liquidation by any person other than
the liquidator shall be valid against the liquidator.
C. Nothing in Chapter 59A, Article 41 NMSA 1978 shall impair the negotiability of
currency or negotiable instruments.
D. Nothing in this section shall be constructed to give authority to any person to act
on behalf of a receiver.
