Colorado does recognize holographic wills, which are wills written and signed in the testator's own handwriting. Holographic wills are not required to have the signature of witnesses or a notary public. However, you should be careful about creating your own will.

Colorado law does not require a power of attorney to be witnessed or notarized. Despite the law, it is considered best practice to have the document signed, notarized, and witnessed by two people. Why? The signature is presumed to be genuine if the power of attorney is notarized.

What does Colorado require? Anyone over the age of 18 and of sound mind can draft a will. Writing out the document in one's own handwriting can be part of the process of ensuring its authenticity. With such handwritten documents comes the obligation to have witnesses present when someone signs.

Legal documents are an important part of our lives, even if we don't realize it. From routine contracts to complex court filings, legal documents establish rights, responsibilities, and clear terms between parties.
