When Do You Need to Probate a Will?
Every Colorado estate that involves a significant amount of money must go through some form of probate. Estates that involve a simple will can go through the informal probate process, which is relatively inexpensive. Usually, informal probate involves filling out form documents and usually does not require any court hearings.
Formal probate may be necessary when there are any questions or problems involved with the will or other estate documents. During the formal probate process, the personal representative must carefully inventory the estate, notify heirs, distribute property, and do much more. The formal probate process can last six months or go on for years. Having a dedicated probate attorney on your side can help speed up the process and address any issues that arise, such as will contests, lost heirs, and estranged family members.
