Dear LawGuru User:

I know of no such source, but I suggest that you contact the public library.

I have used the Colorado Probate Code itself as my source for 22 years, and find it to be the best place to determine how to proceed by law.

Executors (Personal Representatives) in Colorado are permitted by law to use estate funds to hire counsel.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

Louise Aron

Attorney at Law

Re: Probate laws of Colorado

You may have been informed correctly. Real estate owned by a decedent in Colorado would subject to Colorado's system of informal estate administration. The Will is lodged with the Probate Division of the District Court of the County in which the decedent was living at the time of death. If the county was Denver, then the Will is lodged with the Denver Probate Court.

There are many publications available on Colorado's system of informal estate administration. You should start with ordering the Probate Packet from the Denver Probate Court and the Bradford Robinson booklet, So Now you are an Executor.

For any questions, seek the advice of an experienced Colorado Estate and Trust lawyer.
