In Colorado, estate planning is built around transparency, control, and simplifying legal outcomes. State law recognizes wills, revocable trusts, advance directives, and financial powers of attorney as key planning tools. Colorado’s simplified probate process and spousal elective share laws require careful planning to avoid unintended outcomes. With a growing population and diverse asset types—from cabins to tech portfolios—Coloradans benefit from thoughtful planning that respects autonomy, minimizes court involvement, and supports smooth transitions across generations.
