New Mexico Statutes Chapter 47. Property Law § 47-1-17. Entailed estates

Whenever a conveyance or bequest is made wherein the conveyor or testator shall hold possession of property, be it lands or tenements, in law or equity, as under the English Statute of Edward the First, styled the entail statute, and said property is to be perpetuated in the family, each one of said conveyances or bequests shall only invest the conveyors or testators with possession during their lifetime, who shall possess and hold the right and title to said premises, and no others, the same as a tenant for life is recognized by law; and at the death of said conveyor or testator said lands and tenements shall descend to the children of said conveyor or testator, to be equally divided among them as absolute tenants in common; and if there should be but one child, it shall descend absolutely to it; and if any child should die, the part which he or she should have received shall be given to his or her successor, and if there should be no such successor, then it shall descend to his or her legal heirs.
