The Denver Probate Seller Checklist: Free 9-Page Guide, Emailed in a Minute

The listing waits for Letters, three to six weeks after filing. Most Denver estates list 30 to 60 days after that and close 30 to 45 days after listing. The estate pays nothing until closing. This is what to gather, decide and hand over, in order.

What is inside The Denver Probate Seller Checklist

What to gather before Letters, the as-is versus prepared decision with real numbers, the clean-out vendors, what title needs from the estate, and the tax notes for the attorney. Written for Denver personal representatives and heirs.

If an heir plans to stay in Denver, our Denver area guide compares neighborhoods, commutes and local favorites.

9The checklist, and who to call

A sample: Before Letters: what to gather

Certified death certificates: ten copies. Title, the lender, insurance and utilities each want one.
The deed and the last tax bill: how the home is titled decides whether probate is needed at all.
Mortgage, HELOC or reverse mortgage statements: the loan keeps running; a reverse mortgage comes due at death with a six-month window.
The insurance policy: call the carrier; vacant-home coverage after 30 to 60 days empty.

That is one section of 9. The full guide has the tables, the worksheet and the checklist.

Where do Denver personal representatives go after the checklist?

Short answer: Denver estates go through the Denver Probate Court, its own court in the City and County Building at 1437 Bannock St. Once the court issues Letters, the personal representative can list and sell the house. These pages cover the sale itself:

What not to do: don't list the Denver house or accept a cash offer before Letters are issued, and don't let the homeowner's insurance lapse while the home sits empty.
