Here are some common grounds for contesting a will in Colorado: Improper Execution: The will wasnt signed or witnessed correctly. Lack of Mental Capacity: The decedent wasnt of sound mind when they made the will. Fraud: Someone lied to the decedent to get them to change the will.
The will must be in writing, signed by the testator or by someone else at the testators direction and in their presence. It must also be signed by at least two witnesses. The will must be notarized.
The basic requirements for a Colorado will include the following: Age: The testator must be at least 18 years old. Capacity: The testator must be of sound mind. Signature: The will must be signed by one of the following: Testator.
A testator must generally know: what his assets are, who his family members are, how his will affects who will inherit from him, and his will must represent his wishes. In addition, a testator must sign a will voluntarily and not be under any constraint or undue influence by another person.
But marriage changes that. While you are under no legal obligation to update your will after you get married, its something you must do if you want to make sure your will is effective. This is because spouses in Colorado automatically earn the right to inherit from one another upon the others death.

A will may be deemed invalid if it is the product of undue influence. In Colorado, this occurs when another persons actions take away the free will of the testator, such as in cases of coercion or duress.
A will that was executed under undue influence, coercion or fraud will be invalidated by a court.
In most, if not every, state, the marriage does not invalidate the existing will. His existing will is still valid. In most states, a surviving spouse has rights to elect against a will, meaning that if he dies with that will in place, you would have some rights to his estate even though you arent in the will.
