What is the Colorado Probate Law Concerning Tenants in Common?
When a person with or without a will dies in Colorado, his property goes into probate. Probate is the word used for the procedure of distributing property to people who will receive property under a will or as an heir. A “tenancy in common” is a legal term that describes a certain type of joint property ownership, and when a tenant in common dies, his ownership interest in land passes to his heirs or the persons named in the will pursuant to the probate law.
