Text
If an application for informal appointment indicates the existence of a possible unrevoked testamentary instrument which may relate to property subject to the laws of New Mexico, and which is not filed for probate in the probate or the district court, the probate or the district court shall decline the application; however, such declination of informal probate is not an adjudication and does not preclude appointment in formal proceedings.
