Notifying Heirs and Creditors During Probate
The notification of heirs and creditors is a crucial step in the probate process, ensuring transparency and fairness in the administration of the estate. Once the inventory and appraisal are completed, the personal representative must inform all relevant parties about the probate proceedings. This step is not just a formality—it’s a legal requirement in Colorado, designed to protect the rights of both the estate’s heirs and its creditors.
