1. “[Tjhis court has adopted a principle in cases dealing with the rights of judgment creditors of vendees under real estate contracts that is persuasive with reference to the issue at hand. In Warren v. Rodgers, 82 N.M. 78 , 475 P.2d 775 (1970), this court considered whether a vendee under a real estate contract has an interest in real estate to which a judgment lien can attach. In that case the purchaser of the real estate defaulted on his contract and the seller declared a forfeiture and regained possession. This court stated ( 82 N.M. at 79, 80 , 475 P.2d at 776, 777 ): The contract of sale never having been completed by the debtor-vendee, he had no vested legal interest in the real estate on which the lien could attach A judgment creditor can claim no greater rights than a vendee might have asserted in offering to cure a default. The vendor had no contractual obligation with the judgment creditor and, therefore, was not bound to accept him in lieu of the vendee. In accord is Petrakis v. Krasnow, 54 N.M. 39, 56 , 213 P.2d 220, 230 (1949). Also see Mutual Building & Loan Ass’n of Las Cruces v. Collins, 85 N.M. 706 , 516 P.2d 677 (1973) which overruled a portion of Warren v. Rodgers, supra, on a point that is not relevant to this case.”
