Transfer on Death Deed (TODD)

Click here to read New Mexico’s Transfer on Death Deed (TODD) law, which contains a sample transfer on death deed. In the ‘quick search’ bar at the top of the screen, type “45-6-401″ including the quotation marks. Clicking the ‘search’ button should take you to a link for the law–click on the 3rd match, Section 45-6-401, the TODD law. The text of the TODD law should appear in the upper half of your screen. While people are allowed to prepare their own transfer on death deeds, it is strongly recommended that they hire a reputable attorney to prepare the deed instead. Remember that transfer on death deeds must be recorded in the county clerk’s office during the owner’s lifetime in order to be valid after the owner dies!
