Under Colorado law, a will document must be signed by the testator before two or more competent witnesses or before a notary public.
Signing Requirements
Must be signed by at least two individuals within a reasonable time after they witnessed the testator’s signing of the will. Or it can be signed before a notary public or another individual authorized by law.[1]
State Definition
“Will” includes any codicil and any testamentary instrument that merely appoints an executor, revokes or revises another will, nominates a guardian, or expressly excludes or limits the right of an individual or class to succeed to property of the decedent passing by intestate succession.[2]
