46-10-13. When disclaimer barred or limited.
A. A disclaimer is barred by a written waiver of the right to disclaim.
B. A disclaimer of an interest in property is barred if any of the following events occur before the disclaimer becomes effective:
(1) the disclaimant accepts the interest sought to be disclaimed;
(2) the disclaimant voluntarily assigns, conveys, encumbers, pledges or transfers the interest sought to be disclaimed or contracts to do so; or
(3) a judicial sale of the interest sought to be disclaimed occurs.
C. A disclaimer, in whole or part, of the future exercise of a power held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise.
D. A disclaimer, in whole or part, of the future exercise of a power not held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise unless the power is exercisable in favor of the disclaimant.
E. A disclaimer is barred or limited if so provided by law other than the Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act [46-10-1 NMSA 1978].
F. A disclaimer of a power over property that is barred by this section is ineffective.
