New Mexico Motion to Value Collateral is a process used by lenders to determine the value of collateral that is being used to secure a loan. This process is used to protect the lender from the risk of property being pledged as collateral. It is also used to determine the amount of money that can be loaned to the borrower. The motion for valuation is typically filed with the court in the county where the collateral is located. There are two types of New Mexico Motion to Value Collateral: an appraisal and an independent market analysis. An appraisal is a report prepared by a qualified appraiser that estimates the current market value of the collateral. An independent market analysis is a report prepared by a qualified real estate professional that evaluates the fair market value of the collateral. Both reports are used to determine the value of the collateral and its ability to secure the loan.
