If you die without leaving a valid will, your estate will devolve according to the Intestate Succession Act, 1987 (Act 81 of 1987). This means that your estate will be divided amongst your surviving spouse, children, parents or siblings according to a set formula. Find out more: intestate succession.
If you die without a will in Colorado, your children will receive an intestate share of your property. The size of each childs share depends on how many children you have, whether or not you are married, and whether or not your spouse is also their biological parent.
Contested estates: These estates are considered formal. There are ways to avoid probate in Colorado, such as using a payable-on-death (POD) designation.
