Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Colorado

Replevin

My aunt passed away and her husband is not in jail. I am taking him to court for my grandfather and my aunts ashes. How do I prove to the judge that I am the rightful owner of their ashes. I want to fulfill their last wishes and put their ashes in the ocean. Please help!!

Unless your aunt left you her ashes in her will, you are not the rightful owner of her ashes; her husband is.

If she made provision in her will that her ashes should be scattered at sea, and her husband is impeding that, you may file a probate action to enforce the will.

Good luck. I hope your aunt finds the peace she seeks, if not the peace you seek.
