Chapter 45: Uniform Probate Code
Article 2: Intestate Succession and Wills, 45-2-101 through 45-2-1116
Section 45-2-905: Prospective application.
45-2-905. Prospective application.
A. Except as extended by Subsection B of this section, Sections 45-2-901 through 45-2-905 NMSA 1978 apply to a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment that is created on or after July 1, 1992. For purposes of this section, a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment created by the exercise of a power of appointment is created when the power is irrevocably exercised or when a revocable exercise becomes irrevocable.
B. If a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment was created before July 1, 1992 and is determined in a judicial proceeding, commenced on or after July 1, 1992, to violate the New Mexico rule against perpetuities as that rule existed before July 1, 1992, a court, upon the petition of an interested person, may reform the disposition in the manner that most closely approximates the transferor's manifested plan of distribution and is within the limits of the rule against perpetuities applicable when the nonvested property interest or power of appointment was created.
