Probate judge Beatrice Vigil suspended two weeks
Taos County Probate Judge Beatrice R. Vigil is suspended for two weeks without pay and placed on six months supervised probation by the New Mexico Supreme Court after an inquiry into private abstract business activity in her judicial office. She owes $1,500 in gross receipts taxes to the Taxation and Revenue Department and defended herself by saying travel costs to Albuquerque prevented defense. Vigil, a single parent, earns $15,600 in her part time role and operates Sangre de Cristo Abstract Company from home, spending hours in the county clerk’s office researching property data. She previously owed $1,155.95 for copies and provided a cashier’s check after a returned $500 check. She declined further comment.
