Colorado law states that the person with possession of the will is to file it with the Court within 10 days after the death of the testator.

Yes. A will must be probated within 4 years of the death of the testator. However if the will devises real property, it can still be probated as a "muniment of title."

Re: probate
Typically, a will must be probated before the expiration of four years from the date of death. There is a potential exception for certain circumstances, but it's a long shot.
