Mark Required Fields In Legal Colorado Pour Over Will Forms For Free

*Note: Colorado law requires that a decedent's will be filed (lodged) with the District Court in which the decedent was domiciled within ten days of the decedent's passing, even if no probate administration is expected.

A will may be deemed invalid if it is the product of undue influence. In Colorado, this occurs when another person's actions take away the free will of the testator, such as in cases of coercion or duress.

A will in Colorado does not have to be notarized. It must be signed by the testator and witnessed by at least two individuals who are both present when the testator signs the will. To create a self-proving will, the testator and witnesses can sign a self-proving affidavit in the presence of a notary public.

In order for a will to be considered valid in the state of Colorado, the testator must be at least 18 years old, have it signed by at least two witnesses (either before or after the testator's death), and have it either typed or handwritten. The state does not recognize oral (or "noncupative") wills.
