The Colorado Inherited-Home Checklist: Free 9-Page Guide, Emailed in a Minute
Once the court issues Letters, three to six weeks after filing, a parent's home can be listed and sold in Colorado. The basis steps up to the date-of-death value, so a sale near that value owes little or no capital gains tax.

The documents, the filing steps, the sibling agreement, the clean-out plan and the tax worksheet. Written for Colorado heirs and personal representatives.
- 1Who can sign, and when
- 2The document list before Letters
- 3The timeline, in order
- 4The sibling agreement
- 5The clean-out plan (30 days)
- 6As-is or prepared: the real numbers
- 7The tax worksheet to hand the CPA
- 8The checklist, and who to call
A sample: Who can sign the listing
- Personal representative (executor) signs the listing, the contract and the deed once Letters are issued. Before Letters, nobody can bind the estate.
- Trustee signs if the home is in a living trust; probate is skipped for that home.
- Joint owner with right of survivorship records the death certificate and sells as an individual.
- Beneficiary-deed grantee takes title at death and sells as the owner.
That is one section of 9. The full guide has the tables, the worksheet and the checklist.
