Colorado Will Execution Guidelines
Summary
In Colorado, a will must be signed by the testator and witnessed by two individuals. Notarization is not required but adds validation. Notaries can witness both wills and living trusts. A wish letter doesnt need notarization but should be signed and dated.Full Conversation
Ok. I see. No worries, I will go ahead and try to get the two Noraty Puiblics scheduled so they may help with my Trust. Please let me know if I am correct. Can the * Notaries also act as witnesses to both my Wiill and my Living Trust. I was told that they could fulfill both roles.
Yes, in Colorado, the two Notaries Public can also act as witnesses to both your will and your living trust. Ensure that they meet the requirements for witnesses, such as being over * and disinterested parties (not beneficiaries).
Do you need any more details or help with anything else?
This has been very helpful. Oh, last thing does my Wish letter need to be notarized as well?
In Colorado, a "wish letter" (also known as a "letter of intent" or "letter of instruction") does not need to be notarized. However, it's a good practice to sign and date it. This letter isn't legally binding, but it can provide guidance to your executor and loved ones.
Is there anything else you need help with?
Great! Thank you very much for all of your help today!
