The document provides instructions for completing an affidavit (JDF 999) for the collection of personal property of a decedent in Colorado. It outlines who may use the affidavit, the conditions under which it can be used, and the responsibilities of successors or their representatives. The affidavit allows successors to collect assets without court appointment if certain criteria are met, such as the value of the estate being below specified thresholds and at least ten days having passed since the decedent's death. It emphasizes that the affidavit is not filed with the court but presented to those holding the decedent's property.

Begin by reviewing the general information section. Ensure you meet the criteria for using JDF 999, including the time elapsed since death and property value limits.
In Section #6, describe the assets. If all assets are to be divided equally, simply state 'All Assets.' If not, list each asset separately.
Proceed to Section #7 to specify who will receive the assets. Again, use 'All Assets' for equal distribution or detail each recipient if necessary.
Complete Sections #8 and #9 regarding responsibilities. Ensure that you understand your role as an agent for successors and your accountability.
Once completed, sign the affidavit before a Notary Public. Attach a copy of the death certificate as required.
