HB 125 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

LIABILITY WAIVERS FOR CONSERVATORS

HB 125 would have prohibited conservators (people managing estates for others who cannot manage their own affairs) and their agents or representatives from accepting liability waivers. The bill specifically banned requesting, procuring, or receiving any waiver that would release conservators from financial responsibility for mistakes made while managing an estate. This would have required conservators to remain personally liable for errors in estate management, rather than allowing waivers to limit that liability. The bill was referred to committees but was postponed indefinitely in June 2025.
