Wills
Your Wishes Deserve Clarity, Not Uncertainty
A Will is more than a document — it’s a thoughtful, intentional way to protect the people and future you care about most. It ensures your loved ones know:
- Who manages your estate
- Who inherits your assets
- When and how those assets are distributed
Without a valid will, Colorado law decides for you, which may not reflect your relationships, priorities, blended family dynamics, or long-term goals.
At Front Range Estate Planning, we help you create a will that eliminates confusion, minimizes conflict, and protects both your legacy and the people entrusted to carry it forward.
What a Will Can Do for You
Name Beneficiaries
Decide who inherits your assets, sentimental items, and property.
Appoint Guardians
Choose who will care for minor children with love and stability.
Select Personal Representatives
Designate someone you trust to manage your estate responsibly.
Provide Clarity for Loved Ones
Reduce stress, uncertainty, and emotional burden during difficult times.
Important Facts About Wills
A few key things every Colorado resident should know about wills:
- Without a will, Colorado law determines who inherits your assets — not you.
- Most couples create “Sweetheart Wills” that leave everything to a spouse.
- Parents often get a will after having a child to ensure guardianship and financial support.
- A properly drafted will can delay inheritance for minors or disabled beneficiaries until the right age or circumstance.
- Naming a beneficiary who receives government disability benefits could unintentionally disqualify them. But proper planning prevents this.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even well-meaning decisions can create long-term consequences. Here are some traps you should avoid:
- Writing your own will without legal execution.
- Using online templates or generic forms.
- Working with a lawyer who doesn’t focus on estate planning.
- Relying only on beneficiary designations.
- Attempting DIY probate avoidance strategies.
- Giving assets outright to minors or disabled individuals.

Can I write my own will?
Is a will enough on its own?
Sometimes. But many families also benefit from trusts, asset protection, and medical directives. Explore our Asset Protection and Estate Planning services for more information.
Will my will avoid probate?
