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.

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.
