New Mexico Statutes Chapter 45. Uniform Probate Code § 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.
