The declaration may require that all or a specified number or percentage of the mortgagees or beneficiaries of deeds of trust encumbering the units or vendors of units under installment sales contracts approve specified actions of the unit owners or the association as a condition to the effectiveness of those actions, but no requirement for approval may operate to deny or delegate control over the general administrative affairs of the association by the unit owners or the executive board or prevent the association or the executive board from commencing, intervening in or settling any litigation or proceeding or receiving and distributing any insurance proceeds except pursuant to Section 46 [47-7C-13 N.M. Stat. Ann.] of the Condominium Act.
